You know how you can spend the longest time knowing an expression in written form, but never hear it spoken? Today I heard "wreak havoc" for the first time... well TIL wreak doesn't rhyme with break. Which I guess is good because it makes it not an homophone of wreck.

The interesting thing is that now that I looked for other words with "reak", it seems break would be the outlier... streak, creak, freak, wreak, all pronounce reek.
