Re: Pophole

“Pophole” is discussed briefly in comment #5 in this thread. I recommend doing this whenever considering posting here: Go to the second search field on the Eggcorn Database page, the one marked “Google Search”, 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.)

I do think “pophole” for “pothole” is a nice little eggcorn. Here are some other examples I found:

If I am crusing down the road and hit a pophole I can hear it.

Best part was the journey to the waterfall was off road and flying around in the back of the jeep anytime we hit a pophole!
