Malapropagation: The Next Generation

Don’t make an asp of yourself. If you’re gonna adder 'nother post here, you’d better rattle your brain a little more and discover that

Patrick

drove these slithery reptiles ouf of Ireland in this type of car that was on the market from 1898 to 1968.

“Number One, make it so!” isn’t going to work with this one. Because Packard was the name of the Captain on Star Trek: The Next Generation.

He may have been a great captain, but even Jean-Luc couldn’t pick a peck ofPicard peppers.

I wouldn’t peck at those if I were you! They’re pickled, which is what you call a plant with thorns.

No, prickly is the surname of this famous silent movie star who also helped found the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

Even if all the artists united, they couldn’t turn this mess into a Pickford or any other dish in which a grain, such as rice or cracked wheat, is generally first browned in oil, and then cooked in a seasoned broth. Depending on the local cuisine it may also contain a variety of meat and vegetables.

It’s completely unsavory.

“Unsavory” might be a bit harsh – it’s true she knew some rough sorts in early life, but all the same, Mlle. Pilaf will always be remembered as “a French singer and cultural icon who is widely accepted as the country’s greatest pop singer.”

I have a lot of respect for her. She weathered a lot of storms and scandals in her life that would have made a lesser entertainer’s career go Piaf (not in the slang sense of a gay or effiminate man) and disappear.

No, you’ve got the wrong word…a

Poof is like a parody or satire of something.

I could lampoon your foibles extensively, but instead I’ll just say that

Spoof

was the last name of the “Spaceman” Calvin pretended to be when adventuring with Hobbes.

(And although I’m sure it was a typo, 5, I feel compelled to point out that it was in 1958 that the last Packard – which was really just a glorified Studebaker – was manufactured.)

:smack:

Calvin was pretty active in that strip, always jumping and running around. He couldn’t do that if he had been inflexible, unyielding or Spiff

No, I believe you’re confusing it with a word which can be used as either a noun, verb, or lad mag, which would of course be…

stiff

Stiff & nonsense! Stuff is the brand of beer Homer drinks. :smiley:

No, Duff is that actor who was on “Dallas,” and who comprises the leg of the South Park creature Scuzzlebutt.

But… but the guy growing out the side of my head says that Duffy is Donald’s girlfriend!

You should know that the voices in your head (or on the side of your head) are usually wrong.

Daisy is that amoeba-like pattern on fabrics. It was very hip in the psychedelic era and you still see it on neckties.

No, dude, that’s paisley, what you’re thinking of is the main character of “It’s a Wonderful Life.”

I can’t Bear all these errors!

Bailey

is the Big Twelve school in Waco whose teams are nicknamed the Bears.

If you’re a fan of those teams, you already have more than you can bear.

If you come from Waco, you’d probably say that Baylor is that dance form where the women wear tu-tus and the men wear tights and they dance around to music like Swan Lake.
