'no must no fuss' for 'no muss no fuss'

Since no one remembers what ‘muss’ is, it’s a suitable target for eggcornification. (I also found a few ghits for ‘no musk no fuss,’ ‘no mush no fuss,’ and ‘no mas no fuss’ (a Spanish variant).)

This new version expresses both convenience and an absence of constraint.

... they’re a popular gift because they’re a perfect no must, no fuss way to shop for the finicky person on your list.

I’d have no issues paying an extra $50-$70 just to (no must no fuss) have Tivo handle all of this for me.

Give me a no must no fuss punchline I can post around the internets!
