A friend posted this to Facebook. I suggested it may have been a spoof, but he insists it was an actual comment on a vaccination thread. Since I can’t crack the code for inserting an image, I’ll laboriously type it in. No doubt someone will tell me “Asian Orange” has been beaten to death here, but I think “small parks” is new.
”... it’s funny!!! Have you asked yourself why the people they got the shot is spreading the Delta variant!! So you need to ask yourself what did they put in that shot??? You need to look into how the government put small parks on blankets and then gave them to Indians they killed them off and you need to look into why do US government sprayed Asian orange And people in them Vietnam war people are still having affect so that they knew what was in that chemical”

I’m getting over COVID and who knows what else, and I guess the synapses have slowed down significantly. Took me the longest time to figure out what those small parks were!

Thanks, Paul, I love both of these! Though the small parks are more normal malaprop than eggcorn: does anybody really think the lesions on the skin look like undersized pieces of undeveloped public land, or anything of the sort?

The commentary also employs the “Asian Orange” eggcorn. http://eggcorns.lascribe.net/forum/view … hp?id=3876
