Mishmash

"Colonel Wrinkles has a lot of potters in that jacket." — FS

I smile, chuckle, sometimes guffaw at Spoonerisms, Malapropisms, mondegreens, transpositions, and other conversational misapprehensions. Some I use deliberately, like our children's "beflabbered", but "cut me some slacks" has yet to creep into my speech. On the other hand, I'm convinced that those who routinely say "for all intensive purposes" and "would of" ought to be reading much, much more.

I'm such a word geek.
