Hello HippieChick58! As a fellow word nerd, you may or may not know that these are known in English as ‘malapropisms’ (after a character in a by Sheridan. Other examples include, “I had a walk on the Miranda,” “She couldn’t see out of the window because of the compensation” and so on.

The words vunnerable & nucular drive me nuts.

I'm a bit of a word nerd, too. One year, the wife asked what I wanted for Christmas, and I actually had an answer - an etymological dictionary. Her reaction was - What the fuck is wrong with you?! I also have a pocket dictionary of Russian obscenities and one entry that's always cracked me up is a word that means, "object coated with frozen cow dung, used as a sled." Um. . . question: this sort of thing is common enough that it warranted a name?

For some reason, many people are using Santa Clause now instead of Santa CLAUS.

Considering the topic , I'm wondering how many words they intentionally misused in that ?

When I hear someone do that, I always think of that line from the George Thorogood song, One Bourbon, One Scotch, And One Beer.: "That don't confront me none...."

Wat's dis aboot /
