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

Only a savage would think this; you’ll actually thinking of a

Kevin

a unit increment of temperature and is one of the seven SI base units, or a thermodynamic (absolute) temperature scale where absolute zero, the theoretical absence of all thermal energy, is zero (0 K).

Not many people know this, but Kelvin was actually the last name of the know-it-all postman from Cheers.

You hit a wrong note here, as Clavin was a well tempered stringed instrument with a keyboard.

No, smartypants, clavier means quick-witted.

He, he.

clever

was Jerry Mathers’s last name on 50’s TV (Beaver, for those who aren’t that old).

Silly, everybody knows

Cleaver was code for where Ward would go in the evenings and on Saturdays to the local organizational unit of the KKK; nobody was that angelic.

  • I’m not that old and LITB is one of my favorite shows.

Ward was sneaking out, true, but Klavern wasn’t a “where” but a “who” – Shirley’s best friend.

I think you’re smelling it incorrectly, because Laverne is actually an outdoor toilet!

That’s odd. I always thought a

latrine

was a sort of pass in football

No, lateral is property you put up to secure a loan.

Beg pardon, but

collateral

is when two trucks run together

You should drop this claim and agree that

collision

is the admitting of a point claimed in argument.

I must admit that you don’t know of what you speak.

Concession

is telling a priest of your sins so that you may be absolved after saying “Hail Mary” a certain number of times.

My prayer is that you realize that

Confession

is what some candies and examples of fine craftsmanship are called

:smack: Sorry for post #258, y’all. Note to self: FIRST coffee, THEN post!

Anyway, I won’t sugar-coat this: confection is a kind of heat used in newfangled ovens.

Thanks for the apology. I didn’t realize you needed to.

As for

convection

that’s what Hillary and Barack are trying to avoid by garnering as many mystery votes as they can. Trekkies like them, too.

It is my firm stance that

convention

actually refers to an assertion put forward in argument.

I’m assuming you were trying to say

conviction

which is what happens when you switch from one false belief to another, like Saul did to become Paul

Damn. Too slow again.

kunilu had it.
