Eggcorns Challenge - Claims Post

Jun 11, 2006 10:43

I know you've all been dying from the suspenuse, so here it is: the claims post!

This post will be open until 10 pm eastern time on Wednesday, June 14. Claims are first come, first served, one person per eggcorn. You may claim up to three eggcorns. Please mention the number of your claim when claiming. You may also claim eggcorns that are not on this list - just mention that it's your own when you make the claim.

One other note - you don't have to use the exact phrasing of what's listed here as long as you get the general concept. For example, if you claim "he put his hands around her waste," the pronouns are negotiable, okay? Any questions, just ask.

EDIT: If you want to make crackified art for this challenge, that's fine! You be the judge of what is the equivalent to 100-1000 words. Claim away, artists.
