Eggcorns

Something Rhymes with Purple
Something Rhymes with Purple
Episode • May 28, 2019

This week we’re giving up the goat with slip ups. What happens when they eventually enter the language? Eggcorns are logical mishearings or misinterpretations. Featuring a parting of the waves, going at it like hammer and thongs, the whole crotch of the matter and chucking it up to experience . A Somethin’ Else production.


Susie’s trio of words are:


Petrichor: the beautiful smell that occurs when rain falls on dry soil.

Zarf: the holder for a coffee cup without a handle (could be the cardboard sleeve).

Spuddle: to work feebly and ineffectively because you’re either daydreaming or haven’t woken up properly.
