@[email protected] An eggcorn is the alteration of a word or phrase through the mishearing or reinterpretation of one or more of its elements,[1] creating a new phrase that is plausible when used in the same context.[2] Thus, an eggcorn is an unexpectedly fitting or creative malapropism. Eggcorns often arise as people attempt to make sense of a stock phrase that uses a term unfamiliar to them,[3] as for example replacing "Alzheimer's disease" with "old-timers' disease",[2] or William Shakespeare's "to the manner born" with "to the manor born".[1] The autological word "eggcorn" is itself an eggcorn, derived from acorn. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eggcorn soup or salad ah! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Htvs1wXv1-0
