Malapropagation 2012 -- Revenge of the Schtick

I don’t recall a cartoon canine ever being on the labels of Rude Dog fortified wine.

MSNBC commentator Rachel** Mad Dog** drinks fortified wine???

I never saw John Maddow on MSNBC but I certainly remember his Lite beer ads.

You’re mistaken. A Madden is an old word for a trash heap.

While sailing ships were generally smelly, I don’t think they had a trash heap on board, not even by the midden mast - they just pitched refuse over the side.

If your mast is mizzen, you’ve got a bigger problem than a pile of stinky crap. What are you going to hang the sails on if you can’t find it?

I think someone’s just missing around with you.

Could be, I’m not a fan of Instant Messing, it’s so easy to misinterpret the tone behind the text.

Embarrassingly, I did once find myself misinterpreting someone’s rather sensuous messaging - apparently all she was interested in was a mutual back-rub, nothing more. :frowning:

You’re not the only one - the archaic legal term “massage”, meaning “household or dwelling”, is a medieval mistranscription of the French word “menage”.

A lot of people buy their first home not too long after giving their vows in a messuage ceremony.

Why would people have a ceremony to celebrate the whipping of eggs whites and sugar or boiled syrup to form a **marriage? **Let’s make a key lime pie instead!

Opus the Penguin never ate key lime pie. He was always a fan of pickled meringue.

Is it true that Tina Fey is building a house on the shores of the Herring Strait?

She’ll want to be careful with the load-bering walls if she is.

As Snoopy would say, “Curse you, Red Bearing!”

Don’t know much about female anatomy, but I’d think that if you were Baron your relationship with “the curse” would be a bit altered.

One sure way to be likened to female anatomy when I used to play Diplomacy was, as England, to move my fleet to the Barren Sea in Fall 1901. Used to put the wind right up Russia!

And then when you’re done with that, you can go to the Bering Man festival in Nevada.

I don’t think you have to go to Nevada to see the movie Weekend at Burning. When it was on HBO regularly, it was available in every state in the USA.
