Your Malapropism is Showing, or is that your genius?
Learn to English Better - Also, Blame Dana Crandell!
Man's man..such a strange phrase
I'm not sure that translates
the way you think it does
Men's work, women's work
Can't it just be work
Whether it's your dream career
Or your means to an end
Bare with me
I'm Grizzly and naked doing Yoga
Bear with me,
I'm waiting for Godot with Yogi
I could care less
Really? Could you? Is that a threat?
What is your intention?
Do you have prostrate problems, or do you mean prostate problems?
Both in unison would be quite the problem
Taken for granite
On the floor is all the things you could be
a little antidote
An anecdote is an antidote to a dull soiree
You might just fade into Bolivian
Is Bolivian a euphemism for oblivion?
I thought it was Coventry
You want to be Pacific
Like the ocean
The Specific Ocean
Where is my wet squid when I need a wet squib
An escape goat is someone you can rely on
To act like an idiot and try for freedom
But is not so good at taking the fall
There seems to be a misunderestimate
That begs the question
What is the question
Would you might of if?
Would you could of if?
Whatever...
So?
Irregardless of
what has been said before
Remember to test the lemons, no
Test the limits
When all is said and done,
Whether you follow the rules
Avoid the malapropisms
It is a mute point
Silenced by the moot point.
Remember
You
can
be
a
Unitard!

Thanks for reading!
Author's Note: So, this is based on Dana Crandell's awesome You Malapropism is Showing piece and the comments section and partially his awesome Masculine piece (well, the latter, because of some phrases he mentions having a distaste for) and its comments section where I sorta threatened this into existence.
Basically, blame Mr. Crandell!
Also, I felt it was a good idea, after some heavier pieces, to drop something a little lighthearted.
