"favorite of mind" for "favorite of mine"

Noticed this on this post at “The Ramen Rater”:

Then I googled it and found a number of examples. It’s not in the database as far as I can tell. Definitely seems like an eggcorn reanalysis. We have phrases like “peace of mind” = state wherein the mind is at peace. “Favorite of mind” = state wherein the mind has a favorite.

Re: "favorite of mind" for "favorite of mine"

We’ve had several mind/mine mixups on the forum. Frame of mind, for example. And presence of mine. Undermind. Mind of information.


Hatching new language, one eggcorn at a time.
