Mrs. Malaprop rides again

[ManinBlack]

We were at the range / American Golf discussing wrongly used words this morning. I mentioned my wife describing a friend as having cancer of the sarcophagus. The daughter of a mate of mine announced to the family "Grandpa is in hospital with an enlarged prostitute". One of the former American Golf employees was once lamenting his tendency to fall asleep without warning. "I've always been troubled by necrophilia" he said.

I always remember the moment one of my playing partners described the rough at our place as “penile”.

I still chuckle at one of our friends being all serious about the state of the economy. He referred to sublime mortgages

Could be a prostrate prostitute.

In work the Monday after the 1980 Scottish Cup Final which ended in a riot, a girl announced to all and sundry that trouble started because Celtic fans were ejaculating at the Rangers fans.

She meant to say gesticulating.

Ex patriot is getting a fair amount of use in some conversations lately.
Surely we do not want ex patriots to return to their home country.
