ok, my wife brought me these two. She always thought since the police ‘blow’ in to a ‘horn’ when they talk to the bad guys through a blowhorn.
also, the light on the end of cord was not used to find the trouble, it must have made some kinda high pitch, so it was called a treble light.
what do you think? eggcorns?
my wife makes up words when she is tired, i know those aren’t eggcorns, but they get quite funny, like mixing stomach and tummy into stummy. cloudy and foggy makes cloggy.
she gets it from her mother, who does spoonerisms all the time. for example, dust hides in crooks and nannies, dairy queen serves a peanut buster parfait, or as she called it a peanut barfly.
later
