A letter came today from the landlord (part of a long-running and very boring dispute about painting the walls):
“We have delayed carrying out any works having made a number of enquiries and receiving a consistent comment that carrying out some works and others in a peace mill fashion would lead to exaggerated or much higher costs than undertaking external decorations and repairs as a whole.”
Alas, Google reveals no citations – although there is a bookshop by that name…

Oh, hang on – just found a few…
“Too many sites are thrown together in a peace-mill fashion.”

“People that are for ‘Illegal ‘aliens have said that congress WILL try to get their program/proposals into law peacemill if they have to, and that’s what they’re doing with a lot of the bills that are going through the congress”

“perhaps long enough to get a Democrat in the White House…so you can support all his peacemill plans while the enemy continues to slam us.”

“The Lineup will change with some new FA acquisitions as New GM Slyder attempts to peacemill a competent lineup together.” [!!!!!]

“If you look around at what is going on and the peacemill way they are doing it, I think gun control is the last item they have to overcome until we will know exactly what they are doing.”

“my biopsy only showed mild peacemill necrosis” [??!!]

Well, it’s still not an eggcorn, I suppose, is it?
It’s interesting that three of the citations are from right wing American websites… perhaps they think the peacemill is where all those sissy anti-war Democrats work.
[EDIT: just saw this thread in the ‘contribute’ forum on ‘peace meal’ – http://eggcorns.lascribe.net/forum/view … ?pid=1219]
