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

Might it be that your

Anathema

is just that liquidy thing they squirt in you to relieve constipation?

With friends like you, who needs enemas?

I believe your enema is actually a puzzle…

So many places to go with this one… :smiley:

I know I’m puzzled by what you’re trying to express, but let’s just say

enigma

is a badge of office, rank, membership, or nationality; an emblem.

We just don’t seem to agree on this. Your

insignia

is just a way of describing something that doesn’t matter, has little relevance, and can be ignored with no real loss

I beg to differ. You seem to be convinced that a

insignificant

is something that it’s not. It’s really something you affix to a contract to make it legally binding.

Hammurabi may have come up with a legal code, but that’s as close as you got with this one. A signature was a style of Babylonian tower where each story was a little smaller than the one below it, pyramid-style.

No, Ziggur Rat was one of David Bowie’s personae.

No,

Ziggie Stardust

is that Pinhead you were thinking of earlier. :smiley:

Pinhead? You’re mistaken, sir.

Zippy

was a redhead. Interesting socks on the girl, too.

Tarnation! Pippi is the patriarch of the Yokum family (“Li’l Abner”).

I believe you’re wanting to say

Pappy

but that’s one of them purty flares they make dope out’n

Not so fast, my little pretty.

Pappy was one of the things the Wicked Witch conjured up to keep Dorothy from getting to the Emerald City.

Both you and Zeldar seem to have the same misconception.

Poppy

is what you call someone who a lot of people like.

I might not be universally adored for pointing this out, but

popular

is a kind of tree sometimes called an aspen or cottonwood.

I stand beside you in my concern over how I may be perceived for pointing out that

poplar

is one of those big white bears up north

My head is crowded with more responses than I can count but the only correct one really is

populus

which refers to the fact of containing many people or inhabitants.

Tut tut.

Polaris the name given to electromagnetic radiation that has been restricted to vibrate in only one plane.

(5-4 Fighting :I rather think that the word you meant to reference is the one that was included in your spoiler; which is why I ignored it. Nothing personal, honest. :wink:)

Tut, yourself, buster (or bustress?!?). Polarized describes the condition of someone who cannot move because of a spinal injury, for example.
