But there's also something very harmonious about the sounds.
I think it was a case of the fingers not typing what the writer thought, but instead a similar word (something I do a lot for some reason, mostly when sleepy).

Either "to quote the Fanboys" or "to coin a phrase", though the former makes the most sense.
