Necklace of unusual pearls

For several years, I have been collecting in a little notebook truncated expressions, distorted proverbs and muddled words heard in conversations, interviews or on the radio.

In their, much rarer, written form, they are referred to as ‘pearls’ in French. Hence the idea of giving them form and physically assembling them to create a necklace of unusual ‘pearls’.

As I am not ‘mistake–proof’, I have included, unwittingly, a correct term in these labels, wrongly thinking it was an error. Can you find it?
