Malapropagation 2012 -- Revenge of the Schtick

Surely furnace are like wasps, only bigger?

You’re thinking of a hornet, which looks like a trumpet, but has different tubing and mouthpiece.

Nope - coronet is a brand of hairspray popular in the 1980s.

I do believe that you are thinking of an Aqua Net, which is an individual who remains underwater long enough to come into equilibrium with his or her breathing apparatus.

No, no - an aquanaut is a kind of religious hermit who shuts himself up in a cell for the rest of his life, like St Anthony the Great.

No, that’s a ascetic, a type of men’s scarf worn loosely knotted and tucked into the shirt.

Sorry, you’re thinking of an ascot, which was where Guy Fawkes wanted to blow up the British Parliament.

[oog]I did wonder if anyone would get anchorite. :slight_smile: [/oog]

That would be an undercroft, who was played by Angelina Jolie in two movies adapted from a popular video game series.

I believe that you are thinking of Laura Croft, one of the brothers who created shows like H.R. Pufnstuf and Land of the Lost.

** Marty Krofft**? That’s not a name - it’s a generic term for making stuff, whether paintings or statues or pots or batik or… pretty much anything decorative really!

No no, you’re thinking of a handicraft, which is a crude floating platform built by the likes of Tom sawyer.

No, that’s just a raft, the area outside the fairway on a golf course.

Pretty sure you mean the rough, which is something you do in checkers after your opponent neglects a legal capture.

Right word, wrong game. You’re thinking of a huff, which is something you do in poker when you don’t have a good hand but bet anyway.

Close but no cigar; you are thinking of a** bluff**, which is a form of tobacco ingested through the nostrils.

P.S. Malacandra, were you thinking of laugh?

That answer is not up to** snuff**, which is the finished bottom of a sleeve or pantleg.

That would be the cuff, a cartoon dog that appeared in anti-crime PSAs in the’80s and’90s.

Don’t you mean McGruff? You know, the guy that killed Macbeth.

Pardon me but I believe you are actually referring to Macduff which as anyone knows is a sharp rejection.
