Oh too many!
Just today I have seen somebody who presumably wants to empathise, say emphasise
My late mother (in her defence English was not her first language) never got subtle/supple right.
Often she was closer to the truth than she knew!

Oooops that might have been me! Just a typo though on my part, like all the others o often do!

Church ceiling

My friend looking at a chuceiling declared that she didn’t like it as much as the cathedral because there were no “ fiascos” on the ceiling!
Also earthquakes happen when “Teutonic plates move”
Describing a friend as “ a very articulated lady”

I asked a lovely lady if her family was well.

"Yes, thank you, except for our Richard... he's got an athletic foot."

Sadgrandma

My late Mum, bless her, once told me that she’d been to see a lovely film ‘Lawrence of Olivier’
Any other examples?

Sorry made me laugh 😂

My MIL had (whisper) "everything taken away" when she had her 'histerical money'

My lovely great aunt once referred to my brother as being an illegible young bachelor.

Duodenal ulster.

Someone we once knew, a highly respectable churchgoing lady, told my mother, 'There I was, just minding my own business, quietly slaughtering down the street....'

My brother in law, describing how his father had lost his temper very badly said “he went absolutely bearsick!”

When I was a child I used to love the William books by Richmal Crompton and, being somewhat dyslexic, I thought Violet Elizabeth was called Violent Elizabeth.

The postman told me his mum had taken a connery.
My friend wanted to send her daughter to a posh Catholic school like Stella Artois.

My neighbour had Panasonic views from her hotel room.

Not quite a Malaprop but mum could never remember the name of Hobbycraft and called it the Make do and Mend shop

Yes again a mum, my mum sitting in the garden watching the clouds said ‘aren't clouds lovely they re very perathupic’
