New? "for fill" = "fulfill"
This from a Slate reader response—I’m sure you have the “role/roll” one but the other?
“So if young men choose to indulge themselves in the manner they choose they are immature? Is it not sexist it refer to men as the weaker sex? Are men suppose to suppress their desires to for fill predefined rolls when women are free to do whatever they please without complaint from men?”

Re: New? "for fill" = "fulfill"
Forfill makes good sense, with the for- prefix meaning “completely”. There are more hits for this one out there. I don’t think it’s an eggcorn, though, since it doesn’t really alter the semantics of fulfill. Here’s another hit, and two quirky variants.
