Crew's Nest

It’s a fairly obvious mistake to make. It is a place that only the crew is likely to go:

In the main bedroom is a ‘crews nest’ mezzanine that has a sofa bed that all children enjoy.

The middle deck and crews nest have steps that lead down the side of the building and may be difficult for older travelers

“You know right behind him is a spot in the grove were you can’t be seen, not even from the crews nest,” Robin said with a smirk.

Once you have waded through the pages of deliberate puns you come to a fair few of these.

Outstanding eggcorn. Scrambled to perfection.


Hatching new language, one eggcorn at a time.

Yes, a very nice find. I suppose cruise nest would be too much to hope for? Oh yes.

Re: Crew's Nest

Maybe it is the road miles or as the crew flies but I know I walked so much more than that

The glacier is 50 km. away (as the crew flies) from the famous Torres del Paine National Park.

A good few of these are those digitalised old books but some aren’t. Again, the logic is impeccable.
