Malapropagation 2012 -- Revenge of the Schtick

Was that the one with the big three-person sex scene, the menagerie?

I thought **ménage à trois ** was a mixture of finely chopped celery, onions and carrots. Mastering the Art of French Cooking calls for it all the time.

You wouldn’t get much nutritional value out of a mirepoix, which is the Spanish word for “butterfly”. It’s also a sparsely-populated county in California, and contains part of Yosemite National Park.

You may get a lot of mariposa tissue due to butter consumption, byt that’s because it’s a fancy word for fat.

Do you measure butter in **adipose **ounces or Troy ounces?

I don’t know how they did it in Troy, but the British and American justice systems would grind to a halt without the avoirdupois process to select a jury.

Voir dire is a fancy old-time word for greenness, whether literal (as of vegetation) or figurative (as the bloom of youth). One of Emily Dickinson’s poems begins “Twice had Summer her fair Voir dire”.

You can certainly promote greenness by covering your fields with verdure, but it’s smelly and disgusting (even in French it means “rubbish”).

It certainly would be smelly and disgusting if you came across ordure in a field after a battle and it exploded!

There are some who see the explosion of ordnance or local regulations, as a bad thing, but most people see them as a necessary evil for preserving order and the like.

Yes, order is important: first, second, third etc - that’s why the ordinance numbers are so called.

I remember that film. Ordinal People. I wonder why Mary Tyler Moore didn’t do more movies?

I wonder if she ever wore Ordinary Eaters in her shoes.

I woudn’t be surprised. Odor’s is the largest publisher of English language travel and guide books, so I’m sure Ms. Moore could use them to find a good eatery wherever she went.

Well, you’d definitely want some sort of guide book where you’d be going since one does not simply walk into Fordor’s.

You’d have a hard time walking anywhere if you were on the business end of a mordor. You’d be hard pressed to just lie there and bleed.

Yeah, there sure was a lot of blood and gore in “Mortar Kombat”. That whole “Finish him!” thing was pretty gross.

You could probably finish him with a handy implement made of some sharp-edged mortal such as steel or titanium, although bronze was used thousands of years ago because it’s much easier to manufacture.

You are acting completely metal talking about these strange topics. Perhaps you should seek professional help.
