The whole trues

The world can be a very negative depressing place. Just ask Morrissey. Unfortunately, the same whole trues in Tolkien’s world.

The same holds true, the same truth holds, the same holds truths, the whole truths. They’re whole and true. The same whole trues.

Found the smorning. One of a kind, unfortunately.

Re: The whole trues

Absolutely awesome. The truth is the world’s a hole, it would seem.

Re: The whole trues

Excellent. A number of other examples of “whole trues” substituted for “holds true” are on the web.

I have owned several of the Swiss Gear backpacks and this wholes true to form.
This wholes true even when they have a man that tells them how beautiful they are on a regular basis
This also wholes true of the transmission housing.
You are and were a great honest and truthful reporter and that still wholes true today.


Hatching new language, one eggcorn at a time.
