Malapropalooza

That's right, Rouge Wavers, it's that time. I have again collected a small sampling of my favorite belly-laugh malapropisms. I have a special glass jar where I plunk them when I find them and save them just for you. It's just a short list this time. Oh, but such a good one:

Polished to a “I”.

A mop has gathered to watch the stoning.

Our time is neigh.

A medic sows up his leg.

You loose, I win.

The crowd clams down.

Sigmund approaches the Maiterde.

A gigantic blue portly fish bodied bird faced creature flew by.

    In a certain context, that would make sense.

  3. I can only say it's amazing what can be considered vindication.
