Eggcorns
Will Hunt:
Eggcorn. Noun. In linguistics, an eggcorn is an idiosyncratic substitution of a word or phrase for a word or words that sound similar or identical in the speaker's dialect.
My favourites so far:
Don't take it for granite.
For all intensive purposes.
I was wondering around the crag when...
Well done, son shine.
I can't bare it any more.
r-man:
The BT salesperson yesterday: "You may not be legible."
The internet, all the time: "An absolutely top draw boulder problem."
Will Hunt:
I actually once heard with my own ears a friend accuse somebody of "popcorn kettle black".
Steve R:

climbing is my favourite past time
dinner's ready, could you lay out the cut-el-ree
it's just part of the course
