WOB? I vote yes

"As they woof that down, take a moment to reflect on all that your dog brings to you." I do not believe it was a pun.

Benefits (and some surprising science) about owning a dog

There are some real benefits of having a dog in your home, as we learned on National Dog Day 2021, but you might be surprised at what science is discovering about other pros and cons of pet ownership.

It’s a pun.

Yes but now this brings up a serious question. Which came first, the WOB or the Egg Corn?

You may be using these 'egg corns' without even knowing it

Do you "wolf down" or "woof down" your food when you're very hungry?

Saw an old play (like centuries old) years ago and one of the characters was named Mrs. Malaprop. I think that came before the egg corn

Also, I'm dumb. Just looked it up. Malapropism the word is derived from the character name in the play and not vice versa. The character had all kinds of WOBs in the dialog.

Definitely a WOB.

Well according to that article "egg corn" arose sometime in 2003.

I'm not technically proficient enough to do a deep search on HROT to determine the first instance of WOB here, but if someone can find something prior to 2003, we should then send out a cease and desist order to those damn egg corn users.
