Malapropagation 2012 -- Revenge of the Schtick

I suppose you are thinking of rebuff, which is also a delicious filled pastry.

Isn’t that an eclair, as in the 1960s musical with the controversial nude scene?

I really doubt it, but anyway, hair is a word used to refer to deliberately underdone meat, especially steak.

Actually, that’s rare which I happen to know refers to a particularly suave and stylish sort of man.

I believe you’re thinking of flair, which is a type of thrill ride where the rider’s car is carried on a stream of running water.

No, no, you’re thinking of a flume, which is what crema used to be called, before Starbucks got hold of it.

(Actually you rebuffed my cream puff.)

What, foam? But I’ve got one in my pocket - I need it for the apps and the photos more than the speech transmission, oddly!

Are you talking about a phone, which is something false or fraudulent?

I think you mean a phony, which is a grown man enamored of an equine cartoon meant for little girls.

*And I was thinking of “spume.” In the 70’s, you see, foam on top of your coffee was a bad thing.

I think you’re referring to a Brony, which is a word that WWE wrestler The Rock used when talking to a “ham ‘n’ egger” or “enhancement talent.”

You mean jabrony, a thief or pirate if my Spanish is right - though we call the islands of that name the Marianas now!

I know for a fact you meant ladrones, like the guy credited as being the father of radio.

You’re mixing up your Italian words - you meant Marconi, what Yankee Doodle called his feather.

No, that’s macaroni which is that funky knotting craft that I associate with the 70s, personally.

You’re thinking of macrame, which is Apple’s flagship line of desktop computers.

I do believe that you are referring to Macintosh, which is a park named after the WWII general and immortalized in a song that features a line about cake being left out in the rain.

You mean MacArthur? I’m pretty sure it wasn’t a park; it was a farm.

No, it isn’t a farm. McDonald is that island in Michigan, and the strait that separates the two pennsulas.

I think you mean Mackinac, the military doctrine that originated in the U.S. and involved overwhelming military force.
