Malapropisms

Sometimes when you look up a word you thought you knew, the definition can surprise you...as it's different or has a different nuance than you thought.

Today's word of the day is malapropism.

It's a great word :)
Look it up!

Happens especially a lot (I know-_-;) when you are trying to speak in a foreign language.

  2. I do this all the time, think words mean something different than they do for years and years. And then when I look them up, its like the whole world shifts a teeny tiny bit to the left.^_^
