My semi-malapropisms

I use a few words that are a bit unique to myself and sometimes prompts people to stop me and explain myself. I shall now give a few of those definitions below.

Mango example: What's up, mango? Origin: Man -> Mang -> Mango Arose as a fun and gender neutral way to refer to someone.

Gachapon Used as a response, similar to "gotcha" or "I understand". Origin: Gotcha, pony -> Gacha, pony -> Gachapony -> Gachapon

This one gets people confused since gachapon is an actual thing and not just me having fun with words. Posting the above origin usually clarifies the point pretty quick.

Swood Used as a response, similar to "awesome". Origin: Some old JonTron video, back when I used to actually watch him (not anymore)

Swood.

Doing a web search for some 7th Doctorisms, I came across this vintage 1993 post from rec.arts.drwho:

Thomas J. Lee:

Greetings, Whovians,

At last I've remembered to bring from home the list I made of all the Seventh Doctor's confused sayings from "Time and the Rani." These are all I heard. (I also drew a neat picture of Sylvester McCoy, but that doesn't translate to ASCII too well.)

Fit as a trombone A bad workman always blames his fools It's a lottery, and I've drawn the short plank A little portentious, perhaps, Mel? Absence makes the nose grow longer More hasta, less vista A kangaroo never forgets The proof of the pumpkin's in the squeezing Fair exchange is no mockery Where there's a will, there's a Tom, Dick, and a Harriet A bat may look at a Time Lord All good things come to a blend Here's a turn-up for the kook! There's none so deaf as those who clutch at straws A bird in the hand keeps the Doctor away Out of the frying pan, into the mire A fool and his theory are soon parted Blessed are the piemakers, for they shall make our pastry Every dogma has its day Two wrongs don't make a left turn! Right! He who dares, spins As you snore, so shall you sleep Waste net, want net Where there's a will, there's a beneficiary A miss is as good as a smile Memory like a dromedary Time and tide melts the snowman

Daily Fanfic Malapropism: Indiscriminately

“Bucky spins around a cramped corner, firing indescribably just to keep himself safe.”

To be fair, this one might be a nasty case of autocorrect.

#I mean-it could have been indescribable #but you just described it #fic name withheld to protect the author. #fanfic reader problems #writing is hard #autocorrect is an asshole #malapropism

Someone needs to create wireless in-ear headphones shaped like little Golden Retrievers. In other words...

Does anyone face this problem when you read "hair" instead of "heir" and you try to read the same sentence for 5 mins to make sense of it? No? Really? Is it only me?

salute/solute

The word intended was clearly salute, in its most general meaning as a gesture of greeting and respect, but misspelled it as solute, which is the thing that's dissolved in a solvent to make a solution.

#that's certainly a new one and unexpected #malapropism #i had to look up solute to see if it is an actual word #though of course it is or their spellchecker would have caught it #that's usually how these happen after all
