When a passenger jet roaring down the runway toward takeoff at New York’s LaGuardia Airport had to slam on the brakes earlier this month because another plane was still on the runway, Renee Hoffer and all the other passengers were thrown forward in their seats.
Hoffer wound up in the emergency room the next day after the near miss on May 6 because her neck started hurting and her left arm went numb.
“The stop was as hard as any car accident I’ve been in,” Hoffer said.
imagine that playing out over the nws radio
time to bunker down extra hard
Is this a typo/autocorrect or an eggcorn? I really like bunker down as an eggcorn, because it makes good sense, so I hope that’s what it is (the phrase is supposed to be hunker down). :)
learned a cool new word today, thanks
the word selection was on purpose but the phrase was not, I just have a storm shelter (which I jokingly call the bunker) and likely mixed it up in my mind
makes me think of the reddit story about the guys dad would mix two idioms incorrectly on purpose (both things being malapropisms new from your link, related to malaphors which was new to me from that story)
I found one of the reddit posts I searched for afterwards
