List of funny quotes that are in the top 30 Eggcorns in the UK – survey in 2017
There was a survey in 2017 to find the most common “eggcorns”, also known as malaphors or mondegreens, or mixed idioms!
The survey was conducted by Onepoll.com and also revealed that 25 per cent of participants have been left feeling embarrassed after using an eggcorn, no surprises there.
Meanwhile, 67 per cent said they often mishear phrases and the research claimed that on average, Brits say an Eggcorn three times every month.
That’s a lot of damp squids curled up in the feeble position.
