Foul vs. Fowl
Posted by ShawnSep 26
I was in a foul mood when I went for a walk. The fowl flew away when I approached its nest. That fowl had a foul smell when it passed by me. Suddenly, a foul ball hit the flying fowl when it flew over the baseball field. (It survived and flew out of sight. The fowl is having a foul day.)
Foul – something offensive, smelly, horrid, obscene, dishonorable, polluted, dirty, obstruction, an infringement of the rules
Fowl - a bird of any kind
This misspelling isn’t as common, but unfortunately still exists. So, if you say something smells fowl, you have likened the smell to a bird. If you say you saw a some a feathery foul zip by your car, you have likened what you saw to something smelly.
You could smell that in your car?
