Good one, gswarbrick.
This one is mentioned in passing once before in this Forum, here.
I recommend doing this whenever considering posting here: Go to the second search field on the Eggcorn Database page, the one marked “Google Searchâ€, and see if your proposed eggcorn (or other treat) has already been discussed. If so, you’ll probably want to add to an existing relevant thread rather than proliferating new threads for the same eggcorn. (It took me awhile to figure this out, so now I mention it to newbies as needed to facilitate their assimilation.)
Welcome to the Eggcorn Forum, gswarbrick! (Any relation to the late great fiddler Dave Swarbrick?)
