I am internally grateful for that. Sexy Lady regularly has 'eggcorn moments' now I just need to remember the phrase.

My wife has plenty, and she doesn't have the excuse of coming late into the language.
For many, many years we had a parsing shelf at the back of the car.

For some reason I can't seem to figure out what you actually have at the back of the car. Help me out?
What is this talk of release? I do not release software. My software escapes leaving a bloody trail of designers and quality assurance people in its wake.

May be a British term?
Parcel shelf, the shelf above the boot (trunk) space in a hatchback (?) car.
Usually hinged at the top of the back seats and attached to the rear window by string so when you open the hatch it opens up too.
Except I don't think I have ever owned a car that had all of the fixings for it in complete working order.

I had a parcel shelf in my first car a Vauxhall Cavalier 2 door salon and that was not a hatchback (the Audi was the same) - I remember cutting massive holes in it for the "new" speakers

Fair enough, I've only ever had hatchbacks, didn't know if it was called the same thing in saloons.

I had someone tell me I should watch something on Paper View earlier tonight.
"When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down 'happy'. They told me I didn't understand the assignment, and I told them they didn't understand life." - John Lennon

A friend of ours used to think that men grew sideboards. And that her children had a goat cart.

Interesting that the article comes originally from someone using "spit and Image" rather than "spitting Image" - when the former predates the latter so, in fact, spitting image is the Eggcorn
** EDIT:
I know it does point that out in the article - which is what I'm getting at - the article was about eggcorns, prompted by someone not using one.

A few of them are actually worth keeping, though -- "skimped milk", for example, appeals to my sense of satire.

I have iPhone (company), but atm I'm not affected.
Might it be because I have every auto-update, sync, icloud and all the rest deactivated?

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Very smart choice. DEACTIVATE!! Control what you get, instead of letting APPLE push it on you.

Don't be ridiculous! Apple knows better!
Don't you know that they invented the radius, which led to the invention of the wheel?!

Since when did it become cool to hate U2? I can't keep up with what's cool and what's not.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

I've hated them for over twenty years, but that wasn't to be cool, that was because a lad at school thought they were the greatest thing ever and it really annoyed him to hate them.

Likewise, some kids at school started a band and all they sang were U2 pieces of crap which was more than enough to make me a life long member of the shun the pretentious vanilla music band.

I bought their Josha Tree album for $1.00 US at a place called BuyBacks.
Brand new for $1.00 US. Well, it's obvious they are disliked. I mean, $1.00?
Well, I listened to it and it is quite poetic and some decent music and I listened to it quite a few times.
I'm just so all confused about "with or without you..."
I don't know. But it is a decent album. That one guy, maybe thte guitar player...he doesn't have a name? they just call him The Edge?
Edge of what? Must be the pretentiousness.
|
|
|
|

I've hated them since they first existed, simply because Edge can't play the guitar and Bono... well, you just can't fix something like that.
