Couch fucker takes the reigns...

Reins, not reigns. Common homophone error but the phrase comes from the name of the straps used to control a horse.

    I definitely knew it was reins, but I don't know that I knew that it is spelled differently than reigns.

    Unfortunately, he would also be reigning, so I wasn't to far off for both spelling and context.

    But in this case either of the homophones works.

    No, reigns would be incorrect.
