Cool list, mollusque! One that I like, though I don't hear it very often, is "world o' hurt," as in "If we don't get home by midnight, we'll be in a world o' hurt!"

Shaquille O'Neal? (Just kidding, m...)

Thanks, c_b! There aren't as many of these phrases as I thought there'd be. Or maybe I haven't found an effective way to search for them.

How about "peg o' my heart?"

Thanks, skipvia! I am tempted to add Shaq, perhaps as a representative of the class, like I did with bowl-o-rama. He has one of those names that lends itself to linguistic invention.

My pleasure. There are several thousand "o-matics" out there as well, but you probably don't want to go there.
I do love this list. "Will-o'-the-wisp" is such a beautifully evocative phrase.

Hi ruzuzu, I meant man-o'-war to encompass all three (ship, bird and jellyfish).

ruzuzu commented on the list o-ho
Oh! That makes perfect sense, of course. Not sure what made me think you hadn't accounted for that already.
Um... I'm sure I've said it before, but you're awesome.

Different listing styles I guess. I generally go for the shortest entry I can. Love your edgy sedge list by the way.

Thanks! Rushes might be next, assuming there isn't already a list of them here somewhere. :-)

P.S. Has anyone made a list of ignis fatuus variations?
