Malapropisms
A malapropism is loosely defined as the wrong use of a word or term, with the outcome often turning out funny.
Examples:
Jesus healed the leopards
Making a mountain out of a mole hole
The worm's on the other foot now
You take me for granite
Pacifically (specifically)
That butch is a wolf in cheap clothing
Ask an elderly person what's new. You'll probably hear a malapropism within a few minutes. Share your favorites...
