Jorkel, I would have eggcorned this in this way as a child; in my native dialect ‘gan’ means ‘go’ and everyone knows that things that gan bad usually gan green. (This reminds me of your recent ‘whirled peas’ post; ‘Turk’s Head’, a favoured public house, I used to pronounce as’Talk’s Heed’ – still do when I’ve had a few.)
