Subject: Bowl in a china shop
Here's a rare eggcorn: I've encountered two people who confessed that
they thought the expression was not "bull in a china shop" but "bowl in a china shop." The clearest example I've found on the Web in in an evidently mis-transcribed CNN interview at http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0201/16/ltm.04.html. You must Sign in before you can post messages.
