Malapropisms
A malapropism is loosely defined as the wrong use of a word or term, with the outcome often turning out funny.
Examples: Jesus healed the leopards Making a mountain out of a mole hole The worm's on the other foot now You take me for granite Pacifically (specifically) That butch is a wolf in cheap clothing Ask an elderly person what's new. You'll probably hear a malapropism within a few minutes. Share your favorites... |

Rene and i have a good friend who is notorious for these.
My favorite so far is "75% half off sale". Guess it really isn't a malapropism but it is funny.

True story ....... my sister-in-law was speaking to her mother about me ..... "Mum, did you hear about Deb's autopsy?" Apparently there was dead silence for a few seconds before her Mum said "Autopsy? Are you sure? Deb's on her way over for a cup of tea!" lolol
Deb - who still drinks

Malapropism
A malapropism is the mistaken use of an incorrect word in place of a word with a similar sound, resulting in a nonsensical, sometimes humorous utterance. The word originates with the character "Mrs Malaprop", a humorous old aunt character in Richard Sheridan's 1775 comedy-of-manners, The Rivals. Here's to: ( That's a lil joke. ) " 'I am a person who recognises the fallacy of humans' George W Bush to Oprah Winfrey. " " 'He eludes confidence' William Bratton, Los Angeles police chief, of Barack Obama's second inaugural speech, 2009."

Justin Beaver............
~~~
On David Letterman’s late night show in 2012, he said he wouldn’t go crazy getting tattoos because “I’m not going for the Sixteenth Chapel look.” He was trying to refer to the Sistine Chapel...

President Bush the son.......
Here is one hilarious malapropism of his..
"And there is distrust in Washington. I am surprised, frankly, at the amount of distrust that exists in this town. And I'm sorry it's the case, and I'll work hard to try to elevate it.” |

Pittsburgh Steelers, coach Bill Cowher, likely gave his players a scare when he mixed up “circumvent,” meaning “go around,” with a medical procedure.
He said, “We're not attempting to circumcise rules.” |

Yogi Bear no doubt meant ambidextrous...

"He hits from both sides of the plate. He’s amphibious". |

Malapropisms
Many moons ago I remember a man with a broken arm coming in to pay a bill. The receptionist asked if she could write the check out for him to help him.
His reply "no its ok I'm bisexual" Obviously meaning ambidextrous |
