Possible eggcorn (and tuckass)

[Mark Peters]

Argh... Not sure why this gibberish happens. My attempt to clean up the post:



I don't think so... I don't see any logic to it ("jewelry duty" as an eggcorn). But here's one I've been meaning to post: "tuckass" as a misspelling "tochus" or "tuchus":

I bought some damn fine coffee and can't wait to drink it! When our hopper is empty, you can bet your sweet tuckass I'm filling it with my delicious find.

Joe has been taking a lot heat from the Old Media Members of the Dead Men Walking Press. Seems as he axed that one a simple question that exposed that ones tuckass so that even the blind could see his butt cleveage. Lordy.

You can shave an ugly dogs tuckass and make it walk backwards but it's still an ugly dog.

You don't have to be a hobo genius to catch the train of thought behind this one. Eggcorn Database, are you listening...
