Malapropagation (Thread 3 of game -- #1 with New Name)

I hate to burst your balloon, but rapture is another word for burst.

Naaah, rupture is when you take a member of the opposing force, like in chess.

Take it from me.

Capture

is when a boat flips over.

My God, I type slow!

But isn’t capsize when you use an upper-case letter for the beginning of a word?

I’m almost feel like shouting (internet-style) that I was too slow but my correction (and yours) is

capitalization

which is the active component of chili peppers.

My hot-pepper pun device seems to be on the blink this morning, but I do know that capsicum is a red blood cell.

You’ll never make your way through the ranks if you don’t know that corpuscle is an Army noncom.

And you’ll never get rich by digging a ditch. You need a thorough background in the classics.

Corporal is the family who feuded with the Montagues in Romeo and Juliet.

Oh, twickster, I’m so sorry to have to tell you, but a

corporal

is a big company that’s protected from lawsuits against individual heads and managers.

ETA: use kunilou’s. It’s better.

Nay, Zeldar, corporationis that thing that the Aurora Borealis does.
AndCapuletis one form that pills take.

Your pick.

You guys, with all your errors, are giving me a headache. Taking a

Caplet

would solve the problem once and for all because the answer is really one of the finishing or protective pieces that form the top of an exterior masonry wall or building, or the piece making up the covering structure of an archaeological tomb (and should seal the deal).

Are we talking about capstone?Because if so, it’s a floor covering.

I guess your “floor covering” isn’t sparking my synapses too well. If you meant

cobblestonethen that’s a dessert like a pie without a bottom crust.

But if you meant

carpetthat’s when several people get together in one car to save gas (of the fuel variety) but run the risk of doubling up on the other kind.

And if you didn’t mean either one, then I’ll wait some more…

Right second time. :wink:

I’m gonna just grab this one and energetically run with it by saying what you probably meant was

car pool

which means to go for the pleasures of the moment without concern for the future.

There’s no pleasure at all in carpe diem which is a repetitive stress injury to the wrist and lasts more than one day.

It’s amazing! You say

carpal tunnel

and I think of the one that goes between NYC and Jersey

I’m guessing you mean

Holland Tunnel[,

but that’s the name of an actress known for such roles as Ruth Dunbar in Bosom Buddies and Evelyn Harper in Two and a Half Men.

Oh, it’s springtime and I think you’re referring to the tradition of

Holland Taylor

many of which are blooming right about now.
