Bro.Bunch The literary example for this is in Marjorie Kinan Rwalings'
book "The Yearling" where a little child is trying to memorize the
saying "If at first you don't succeed, try try again."  The child's
older sibling is constantly teasing saying, "If at first you don't
fricasee, fry fry a hen."  So of course, when the poor little child
stands up in front of the class and get nervous, it comes out the
wrong way.
