cinemas-: talkofshame: Sorry guys, but this is the best reply anyone could tweet at Chris Evans. SHAVE PERFUME Is it an eggcorn? Is it a mondegreen? When you’re so excited about Chris Evans being on twitter, it can be v. difficult to express yourself. (for the record: A singer in a smokey room. / A smell of wine and cheap perfume ) Shave perfume = men’s aftershave?

SHAVE PERFUME

Is it an eggcorn? Is it a mondegreen? When you’re so excited about Chris Evans being on twitter, it can be v. difficult to express yourself.

A most unfortunate…

(via NotAlwwaysWorking)
 | MEMPHIS, TN, USA | 

(I was sitting at a bar and overheard the bartender talking to another coworker.)

Bartender: “Man, I’m starving. I need to go feed my feces!”

Coworker: “Your feces?”

Bartender: “Yeah, my feces!” *points to stomach*

Coworker: “You mean fetus?”

Bartender:*looks confused*

Coworker: “Fetus is your baby. Feces is your s***.”

Bartender:*completely confused*

Great submission! Thank you heyaiden!

Gilbert Godfrey would be a pretty great comedian mashup*.  Or it’s just Godfrey himself doing an impression of the former Aflac Duck. *On a recent Doug Loves Movies, Pete Holmes claimed that fellow guest Graham Elwood looked like a combination of Gilbert Gottfried and Adam Carolla, and proceeded to do a voice that was a combination of the two.  I’m not sure if personal names can be Eggcorns but the fact that it was another comic, and also reminded me of Pete’s bit made me want to post it here.

suppressed: lack toast and tolerant We’ve showcased a similar version of “lactose intolerant” on this blog but I do wonder what the thought process is that leads to “lack toast and tolerant.”  Like you can’t digest milk without toast?  I prefer the eggcorns that have some bit of internal logic or rationalization.

Well this needs to be on the Eggcorn blog, absolutely.   Great work, OP!

I think Troy’s “all Tomato” is my favorite. 

Oh dang, check it out: this blogger sees the future!

Thank you!

Oh cool, a submission to the Eggcorn blog!  This is great because 1.) More content and 2.) it reminds me to enable submissions.  I’m usually afraid of mispronouncing/misspelling chaise longue, so I just go with the more colorful “fainting couch.” ;-)  Thank you HeyAiden for finding!

lizdexia:

Someone just reblogged a post of mine and wrote “grant it” instead of “granted.”

#EGGCORN ALERTTTT #rachel where are you

I was asleep :( but now we have Hader on the eggcorn blog and that is in no way a bad thing. Thanks Liz, good lookin’ out! (All rights reserved, by me, to use the idiomatic expression “good lookin’ out” regardless of grammar.)

“Grant it” for “granted” reminds me of this post from Old people vs. Facebook.
