Thread Name: Malapropisms
Subject: RE: Malapropisms
A friend of mine came up with some cracking inventions.
She had a ton of "Aphrodite" delivered for the open fire. (Anthracite?)
Someone we knew had trouble with "Hermones". That has been quite a useful one.

Just to be an awkward sod, I refer to buying "orgasmic" milk, veg etc, just to watch the victim's eyes unfocus while they think about it.

My mother said that her mother came home from a church meeting, (as an adolescent, I think) mildly hysterical. A woman had been lecturing on mission work in "Lupus Lumpus". We have never worked out where she was talking about.
