Those who say "doggy dog world" are clearly imagining a dog park, not competition. The real world doesn't share blankets; it bares its teeth over food bowls. A cute mistake, a ruthless truth: the world is still dog-eat-dog. #english #eggcorn

I'm finding it very hard to deal with the fact that the correct phrase is "shore up" not "sure up".

#Eggcorn
An #eggcorn is a misheard word or phrase that sounds similar to the original and is often mistakenly used in its place. For example, mishearing “old wise tale” for “old wives' tale,” the original phrase. Are there any eggcorns you find particularly annoying or funny? 🙄 🤭
An eggcorn is when you hear a phrase as having different elements than originally intended, but in a way that’s still plausible. “eggcorn” itself is an eggcorn for “acorn”.
Here are 15 more!
