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

Only if you’re playing the spoons. Valley Girl is a musical notation to play fast, but not as fast as presto.

You mean

allegro

That’s those little building toys kids make all sorts of things out of

Are you quite sure? I thought Lego was the brand name of that gelatin dessert food that jiggles.

Nope–

Jell-O

is the generic name for a popular personal lubricant.

KY…nope…Astroglide…nope…ID…naaah…

Well, I may be…er…backsliding here, but I’m pretty sure that K-Y is the police designation for doggie officers. The mind simply boggles.

I was actually shooting for

petroleum jelly.

Notice that I said generic name.

Petroleum jelly? :eek: :eek: --but-- the friction!
Alrightie then. You are probably thinking of petroleum jelly, who was a little-known TV detective in the 1970’s.

Having seen a bare minimum of 70’s TV detectives, I’ll take a shot at

Telly Savalas (Kojak)

being who you might be thinking of.

If so, you need to be aware that “Telly is of all of us” is a pidgin English way of saying Reality Television. That suggest “Survivor” and “Big Brother” which then suggests '84, and that’s the number of trombones in The Music Man.

Now, Music, Man is similar to Rifle, Man which starred Chuck Connors who played baseball before getting into “acting” so I believe you must mean Yogi Berra.

Was I close?

Actually, I think she was going for Petrocelli, which is a kind of long, skinny pasta.

I’m sure glad it wasn’t Yogi Berra!

Now vermicelli
is the fancy name for the instrument in a quartet bigger than the viola, right?

Boy, am I glad I got a good night’s sleep last night (and didn’t try to follow the last 10 hrs. of twists and turns.)

Not quite, although the vinyards of Ernest and Julio cello have a product that goes well with vermicelli, or any other pasta.

Isn’t

gallo

where they hang art and photos? Even at Night with the Peanuts?

I believe that you will findgalleryis in fact an oar-powered ship.

Isn’t

galley

the gal from Monster’s Ball and X-Men?

I’ll admit she’s tasty, but actually Halle are the foods that conform with Muslim dietary laws.

And here I thought

Halal

was Superman’s name – or his daddy’s.

twickster, you are so clever! But you must not be using your noodle this morning, because vermicelli is another name for chicken pox.

Well, this is a conundrum. But it’s a little known fact that

Superman used his birth name and

his invulnerability to chicken pox, when he came up with the name of that fabric that is so tough, it’s used for bulletproof vests.

No, Kevlar was the kid on The Wonder Years.
