[Ads-l] eggcorn

[Charles C Doyle]

Last night the TV announcer accused a Dallas Mavericks player of performing "laxadaisically" against the Atlanta Hawks.

"Laxadaisical" gets a couple of thousand Google hits, including a few exchanges in the Eggcorn Forum--but it doesn't appear in the Eggcorn Database itself.
