I'm old enough to remember pre madonna music. It's gone to the doggy dogs since then.

The more random your videos become, the more I love them 😂

That’s good to hear, as there’s every chance they’ll continue to get randomer.

Doggy dog world has to be the most adorable of the eggcorns and it remains my favorite. Such a dramatic shift in meaning.

I initially read eggcorn as eggcom!

People saying "chomping at the bit" instead of "champing at the bit" continues to drive me nuts... Horses may 'chomp' on a carrot, but...

Yes!! I was surprised it wasn't in the video. I've never even heard it used correctly, even on TV or radio. So I end up yelling at my TV a lot, as if the presenter will somehow get the message.

I’m hearing “.. step foot in ..” more and more frequently these days, instead of “set foot in ..”

Slick and engaging, informative and slightly crazy in parts. Brilliant as ever. Thanks Dave. Can't wait for the next one.

Only slightly crazy? I must try harder.

One of my favourites is "with a fine tooth-comb" as if there are combs for teeth, rather than a fine-toothed comb 😂😂

If you can have brushes for teeth, why not combs too? 😅

Hehe, very funny. The ones I often notice are "with baited breath" (from eating a lot of worms?) "pouring over my books" (I envision someone with a jug of Bisto) and "bare with me" (no thanks, communal nudity isn't for me)

A while back I spent ages trying to find the spelling of 'with avengeance' only later realising that it was ' with a vengeance'!

i and many other people pronounce "painstaking" with /s/, as if it were "pain staking". when i learned it was "pains taking" i thought "that makes so much more sense!!" i have also said "hunger pains" instead of "hunger PANGS"

I have an issue with the duct tape explanation. I have worked professionally both in the installation of ducts and on film sets (weird, I know). In the business of installing ducting, we used a slightly stretchy, smooth, grey tape we called duct tape. Lots of it. Nothing canvassy about it. When I worked as a gaffer on film sets we used a canvas-type black tape we referred to as "gaffer tape". The canvas tape and duct tape are definitely NOT the same thing. They have different physical properties of colour, stretchiness, teariness and cutability. All they have in common is that they are tape and they are sticky.

Only 19.100 subs? Ridiculous. This content deserves a hell of a lot more attention

I'm inclined to think that "duct tape" evolved into "duck tape" because the repeated "t" is phonetically difficult. We used to refer to collections of DVD's as "boxed sets", but because of the phonetically difficult "...xts..." sound in the middle, they have evolved into "box sets". i don't think Finns have this problem; they stop at the end of syllable before starting on the next, making the language sound "choppy" (that's what I was told by some possibly unreliable Finns).

Incredibly funny, yet, very informative! 🤣

That outro coming from you was one of the most mindbending things I’ve ever witnessed

Ha....now 'damp squid' makes sense! I know the expression, but don't think I've ever used it. If I do, I'll use the correct 'squib' version from now on just to perplex people who will be wondering why I'm say 'squid' wrong! I've only ever heard people use the incorrect 'squid' version!

Dave, I think I love you 😂 and thanks to this video I'll know exactly what to do when I encounter a broken aqueduct 🤓
