Description

Why do we find malapropisms so funny? We wouldn't make the silly verbal blunders poor Mrs Malaprop does, or would we? Many malapropisms are authentic, and reality has the knack of being a lot funnier than anything fiction can contrive. Keep your ears open, and you will hear many more of them because Mrs Malaprop is living near you
