"world win" for "whirlwind"

(I did search the forums first, and didn’t see this posted yet – other people have posted about “world wind”, but not “win”.)

I came across this one on another forum where someone was writing about a “world win romance” she had had. I like it very much, and think it makes a great eggcorn – when you’re newly in love, you really do feel like you’ve won the whole world!
