Is there a name for the deliberate use of incorrect grammar?
I'm thinking of the phrase "As sure as eggs is eggs", which I heard used by a well-educated speaker recently. Of course, they were aware that grammatically the plural eggs requires the verb form are, but I wondered whether there is a name for the intentional use of so-called 'bad grammar'. Another example is the deliberate use of "ain't" by British English speakers.
