Eggcorn "sugar code"

[Gordon, Matthew J.]

Lots of examples along the lines "I'm not gonna sugar code it for you" by Googling "sugar code it" (with or without space). The Eggcorn DB has "coated" for "coded" related to "color-coded" but this obviously goes in the opposite direction and draws on a different logic.

It's also been noticed by Urban Dictionary, with a definition that puts the dic in dictionary:  http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Sugarcode&defid=6426040
