another small selection of collected eggcorns and homophones from fic spelunking

  • navigate the ends and outs


  • using the transporters on mass was not an option

  • [This Star Trek eggcorn is a favorite because the eggcorn renders the statement not just incorrect, but literally oxymoronic.]

  • entire world teamed with secrets


  • that rumbled suit...


  • working overtime at his non-for-profit organization


  • had corked up an eyebrow

  • [This one is funny for the opposite reason: because burnt cork WAS used as a cosmetic for blackening things historically - although I'm not positive about eyebrows specifically. That's not what they meant, though.]

cimorene: The words "I've never seen anything like that before" hand lettered in medieval-reminiscent style (wow)

the ones that actually say spiders georg are forthcoming

Saw something about native Tumblr memes and popular Tumblr memes and did a lot of lettering. (These aren't all native to Tumblr, but they've all been popular there.)

oh great,

Our tenant gave a month's notice.

Now we've gotta find another tenant! Can't make the mortgage (and water and electric) on this place without another 500€+. Fortunately our SIL put it on facebook for us - neither of us uses it.

Last time we were quite lucky to find someone by word of mouth who was in the friend of friend range, so quickly that we never even had a chance to take photos of the place. I went through my photos looking and found out there's no clear picture of the kitchen or bathroom or the second public room at all.

OVERHEARD IN OUR HOUSE

[personal profile] cimorene: I've never had that problem.
[personal profile] waxjism: I think it might be an American problem.
[personal profile] cimorene: I'M AN AMERICAN, WAX.
[personal profile] waxjism: Oh, I forgot. (You've just been here so long!)
