Malapropisms. (A lighthearted thread)

A very dear departed friend and hospital colleague once described a gentleman she'd once met as appearing, in her words " very extinguished looking ".
It took me all my time not to laugh in her face.

All I could picyure was a fire hydrant .

My friend says 'you could have picked me up with a feather' ! Always makes me smile.

And a neighbour's favourite Boy Band was Status Crow.

My aunt used to say her hot flushes were caused by the Monoplus.

Again not a malapropism but a conversation on a plane. My neighbour was talking about gardens and said how much he admired Serendipity Jones.

Remember The Black and White Minstrel show? My mum couldn't wait to see it on their new colour television

Not a malapropism but something a neighbour once said that has passed into family legend.

Some years ago I was telling her we were going on holiday to Africa and would pass over the Sahara. 'I bet that looks wonderful at night' she said.

The gleaming spires, when talking about Oxford.

Somebody recently talked about “closing a blind eye” ! ?

My 93 year old neighbour is a great one for this. I can't remember most of them but her hotel room on holiday had 'panasonic views'.
