Mrs Malaprop 15:37 - Apr 2 with 3696 views | colinallcars | Coming back on the 237 bus from Hounslow today......three women sitting behind me. I've never heard so many words mispronounced. Avacado was advacado, prostate was prostrate, certificate was sistifercate and more that I've forgotten. | | | | |

I always say advacado and it winds my wife up. My Mum has just said ‘Kong-fu’ about eight times in the last hour and it’s starting to annoy me. | |

Ah yes, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, Haitch. Apparently this is part of the NI dialect, which makes it acceptable for people who speak with that accent. Everyone else, you sound like a tw@t. Conservely, people who consciously don't pronounce the h in hotel or worse, in historic and prefix it with 'an' as the indefinite article. If your local accent drops the h, fine. Otherwise, you sound like a tw@t. These are not malapropisms however. They are dickheadisms. | |

Mrs Malaprop on 00:45 - Apr 3 with 1785 views | johann28 | Always had an irrational intolerance for these. My American wife was in the habit of referring to a certain prehistoric monument as 'Stonehedge'. To my objection, 'it's not Stonehedge, but StoneHENGE', she then said 'well, what the hell's a henge?' as if this clinched the argument. 'I don't fkg know,' I screamed, 'It's a massive fkg stone monument - NOT A FKG HEDGE!!!!' We got divorced. | | | |
