Time to catch up on eggcorn activity around the web. I’ll put these notices in separate threads in case you have comments.
First is a note on a web journal about the “the best eggcorn I’ve overheard.†It is “sticks in my crotch†for “sticks in my craw.†Apparently confuses a bird metaphor with either hockey or a wedgie.
The web has a few examples of this substitution. Some may be deliberate perversions.Hatching new language, one eggcorn at a time.
