This thread doesn't keep going the way I think it might..
I had a friend who used to actually make mistakes
like saying "Defile" insteady of Defy
constantly, and it was so hard not to laugh
because they were funny, but she was the kind of person who would rip your face off if you tried to "suggest" that maybe she was using the wrong word.I think the neologisim is spoonerisms from a book with a character named Mrs Spooner who used to complain about her "Very close veins"
Direct quotes"I couldn't believe it, he was so sick he had liasons all over his arms"
My personal favourite because its inventive.
"I took my expensive sweater out of the dryer and I was so angry because they entire thing was pillaged after one wash, I tried using a razor
to get them off but all it did was scrape the fabric"In case that needs explaining
the fabric got little white "pills" on it which happens sometimes.
