Re: "minus well" >>"might as well"

Minus well is an heirloom eggcorn, heirloomer. It showed up on this site early enough to make it into the database, minus well. “Might as well” is a productive idiom. Its simblings include mine as well and my as well. It also shows up on Brian’s list of common errors. The last time minus well showed up on the forum, heroic effort was made to understand its logic.

It’s seems likely that there are other mutant cousins out there. Minus well.

good news is the Mrs turned round the other day and said there’s no point buying it before Christmas so you mighty swell have it early lol

Oh, and welcome to the forum, heirloomer.bloomer.

Edit: I forgot Midas well. And I should mention that these are not eggcorns at all, unless you really squint in a special way.
