A few more mangled usage examples I have come across to go with the earlier eggcorns:Try to make amens -- I love this one, because it brings together the idea that making amends is almost a religious (or more loosely construed, moral) obligation.
Gay as a doorknob -- One of my daughter's friends was watching Project Runway and pronounced this succinct assessment of one of the designers.
Ahead of the curb -- This was on the comments from a blog. The writer was talking about Apple being ahead of the curve with the iPhone. Guess being ahead of the curb is better than being kicked to the curb.
