They usually are, aren't they? ?

Yes, she did on that occasion! She told us about it, blushing but giggling at the same time!

Lucca I've never been quite sure about that one myself

Did she ever realise?
My MIL didn't!

Oh yes Callistemon Spoonerisms!

Many years ago I had a friend who worked for British Gas in the customer service department, dealing with enquiries from people who were expecting visits from engineers.

She managed 2 within one conversation, I will put what she meant to say, and leave it to you to work out what she actually said!

"Oh, yes Mrs Jones, I can see that you job is listed on the fitters sheet for today, he will be round to fit your parts this morning"

I have a friend who could mangle words for Britain!

Talking about relationships, she declared that she believed in mahogany (and presumably other hard woods) didn't like her new glasses as they made her look like Dave Haemorrhage until I realised she meant Dame Edna Everage! and saw a house she loved because it had such Panasonic views.

Is it “off your own bat”: or “off your own back”?

I liked Mrs Malaprop!!
Can't be rivalled
My MIL used them a lot, as well as Spoonerisms.

Oh Daddima that's a classic!

My aunt loved ‘ dolphin nose’ potatoes.

My niece often says she’s balled her eyes out at a soppy film or book. I have visions of ping pong balls running riot in her house!

That’s quite enough, though!

Ah, SalsaQueen the old "ough" pronunciation thing!

Try this:

"The farmer with the cough, drove his plough through the trough" !

Another one is "scotch free"

So you got away with it sober, then?

A friend of mine sais her husband has been furloffed

Funny how often phrases get misused!

A friend keeps saying that she's been furlonged

Don't think so Gabriella pretty sure it was a either a mature student, or the mother of someone at university.

I’m so pleased you brought that up, Phoenix. It’s something I’ve always wondered about.

Ignorance abounds.
Prob too young to know about damp squiBs.

Correct, shysal, but someone on the radio definitely referred to a damp squid!

I think it is damp squib, a firework!
