  response to  Mark Peters and Kim Scafuro's post Mark Peters on Eggcorns

  A Fore-Flusher?

  While I'm pretty sure the traditional phrase is to "flesh out" an idea or a paragraph or whatever, in my line of work the much-more-commonly used "flush out" does seem more ... well, descriptive.

  And then there's the pronunciation-inspired eggcorn I see all the time: "verbage" (instead of "verbiage").

  Those wacky fifty-dollar words and the people who love them! ;-)
