Heard on The Judges: eggcorn or tip of the slung?

[Wilson Gray]

Man-On-The-Street questioner to thirty-ish, black female speaker:

He: "What's your opinion on this case?"

She: "Well, I think that the landlord should be _reliable_ to pay the
car-owner."

All say, "How hard it is that we have to die"---a strange complaint to
come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
