“Paper money is cold hard cash. A credit/debit card is hold card cash”

Paper money is “cold hard cash.” A credit/debit card is “hold card cash.” The line was posted on Reddit—Shower Thoughts on AUgust 23, 2017:
   
“paper money: **cold hard cash**. credit/debit card: **hold card cash**.”
 
The consonant reversal was recorded in the book Speech Errors as Linguistic Evidence (1973) by Victoria A. Fromkin.

@b0ringtweets I just said “hold card cash” instead of “cold hard cash”. My work mates fell about. #WhatsHeOn
