Subject: RE: BS: Did your mum say this to you.....
My mother habitually used a phrase which I don't think anyone else here has ever heard uttered by their mums, because she picked it up from a chance comment by some little girl she once knew. When she'd eaten (or imbibed) something that really was refreshing, it was:
"That hits me with a spot!"
I'm not sure whether you'd call that a mondegreen, or a malaprop!
