Have you ever heard someone say “old wise tale” instead of “old wives’ tale”… and it almost sounds right? There’s a #WackyWord for that: eggcorn. 🥚😅 https://t.co/kk9TRlADfK An eggcorn is when a word or phrase gets swapped for something that sounds reasonably similar — so it almost makes sense — but isn’t actually correct. Drop your favorite eggcorn in the comments!👂💬
