Eggcorn Forum

This year’s haul of April uniquecorns. It’s difficult to say whether any of these are in standard use, so some of them might be considered eggcorns only if you squint. Otherwise, in our asymptotic approach to the omegacorn, I get excited when I get a singleton hit. The acorns, in no particular odor: down pat, barbwire, meting out, upside down, tour de force, kettle, forefinger, icicle, tall order, hospice, palliative care, cinematic, precaution, petty thief, trestle, their own right, ceasefire, cauterize, turnpike, stark raving, fly off the handle, ulcer, ajar.

Guys, guys! You start tagging names to me being a knowitall, and that is a tall odor. I leave that to those runner upper guys that use ‘tech’ in their names.

Being a knowitall is a tall odor. Runner upper guys?

A more mature sort of barbwire.

Rick’s assistant removed his spectacles along with a small cloth to wipe the smudge from glass before returning them to the bridge of his nose. “I must say you are your father’s daughter when it comes to emitting out punishment.”

A simbling of meeting out punishment.

That’s a crazy-looking set of diagrams…... I suppose the key issue is that the pic of the box is upsy-down from the diagrams.

I will never forget the first episode, I so moved that for about 2 hours afterwards all I could think about was what was going to happen to the characters. An intellectual tour de france there was never a dull moment.

The tour de france was cited in 2004 column on language log, I think, by “teacher”. Now there is this uniquecorn.

Hmm.. Someone who didn’t post a real picture of themselves for months… Saying that if you wait for a long time… you’re ugly.. Thats the pot calling the ghetto black..

The index finger is the fourth finger, depending which one you start with.

The blonde smirked. He was happy that the stubborn bastard had finally pulled that ice stickle out of his ass and been honest with him.

I just saw the first 5 minutes of AvP-R. Seems very scary. It’s not playing near a local scenema near me (?) Anyway the soundtrack seems to be pretty cool and suiting. I wonder if the scenema’s made a major mistake.

Murphy’s law is one that you’ll get busted for if you don’t take necessary precushions.

Also a one-off : “as a precushion”. See reaper cushions.

While testing the plane every time you would turn with yaw you would tilt and crash so as a precushion it was disabled.

The alms man’s granddad was a penny thief. When he wasn’t penny thieving or juggling, which he did in his spare time, he liked to play cards with Alfonso Q. Alfonso, a penny thief with jug ears and grave eczema.

Kurdt’s song writing is not like Anthrax, it’s not like Hatebreed or Machine Head or stuff like that. All great bands in their own ride, but metal has just taken on such a different…

And what a ride it has been.

Come on, it only hurts when they are taking the foot off. After that, they’ll use a local on your stub and corduroys the wound.

See a huge eggcornucopia of twists on stark raving here.

“I said yes.” She replied softly, not looking at him. “Before you fly off the handrail please just listen to me.”
fanfic

The decline in axe use has left “flying off the handle” open for mutation.

There were more than few instances where a guy ruined his cool vibe and flew off the railing at a little mistake but Damien were laughing at himself and seemed fine while apparently getting comfy lying back on the grass which amused her equally as much.

A further step from the handrail?
