Oh finally, someone tackles those ridiculous phrases so many use without thinking.

Ex. "free reign" should be "free rein".

Honestly loving this new-to-me vocab:
mèlange (n.) : a mixture often of incongruous elements
(a mélange of architectural styles)

You know I’ll make sure to weave it into my daily convo.

Friend of mine was bemoaning that after a work issue he'd been blamed and made 'a scrapegoat'. Ouch.

My roommate accidentally said “lost and clowned” instead of “lost and found” today, and it’s the best genuine malapropism I’ve heard in a long time. #malapropism #oops #words

Sampling #Rumble purveyors of #disinformation I heard a #malapropism I’ve never run across before: “poise” a question 🤪 - multiple times! 😄

#ChatGPT knows the format of a #malapropism, but doesn't get the essence. 3 of 10 use the same word in both the quote and the explanation. 5 use synonyms instead. 1 uses the correct word in the quote and the malapropism in the explanation. Only the first one could be considered correct, and it's not remotely believable. #ai #linguistics #wordplay

The only response possible when someone is building a "chicken coop" and accidentally referes to it as a "chicken coup" in an online forum.

Thank you #dalle !
