Where abounce in London?

A combination peeve-fest/eggcorn thread on a British music forum starts with this smooth eggcorn/mondegreen, seen on fb: “where bounce u livin hun.” In this form it is rare. As where abounce there are dozens and dozens of genuine hits, and half a dozen for there abounce. Most but not all are from the UK. Hmm, what is the new imagery if it is to be an eggcorn? There, bouncing proudly? Where afoot?

Re: Where abounce in London?

I like the “there abounce” version. Makes sense. It is over there and just a short bounce away.
