Malapropisms are funny, Some are done on purpose to be funny, like Norm Crosby and the Archie Bunker character. Or for memes. But, some are inadvertent like Yogi Berra and Geroge W for two famous ones, personality thing. My ex used to do it on purpose for humor with certain words. Do you know anyone who dos this regularly for fun or as a personality trait?

I don't know if I came up with it or not, but the one I've been using for years is:

"Common sense isn't."

If your up for old radio and malapropisms, I recommend "Duffy's Tavern" Especially the early seasons with Alan Reed as many side characters.

I worked at a place where the boss was a friend and he walked up to three of us that were talking, walked up and stood between the other two putting his arms around them ( we were all friends, the boss and us ) and said to me .. " you know, when I came here this morning I had only 1 a** hole - now I got 3 ". I almost fell down laughing
