Curiously, no one has posted “lutefish†yet. It’s a dead common reworking of lutefisk, the Scandanavian fish (“fiskâ€) dish that has been treated with lye (“lutâ€).
Not a good eggcorn. Transgressors have simply moved the second half of the word into English and left the first half in the original language.
Hatching new language, one eggcorn at a time.
