relish in and plummaging, possible eggcorns?

[Amy West]

Just so I can be clear on blend vs. malapropism vs. eggcorn . . .

I've seen "come into place" for "come into play". It was used twice
by the same speaker in the same context.

Does this qualify as that "meaningful reanalysis" (that I thought)
was the definition of an eggcorn?

Or is it possibly something else? I can't think of another phrase
that it would be blending with, but I might just be lacking in
imagination.
