Malapropism- quite popular hobby of me and my friends. I was reading a book and suddenly realized it. We made fun out of everything, so often that it stuck with us. Really bad... God, I miss them.
The word malapropos, an adjective or adverb meaning "inappropriate" or "inappropriately", derived from the French phrase mal à propos (literally "ill suited to the purpose"), is believed to have entered English usage around 1660. The term "malapropism" however, is generally attributed to the public reaction to Richard Brinsley Sheridan's 1775 play The Rivals, and in particular the character Mrs. Malaprop. Sheridan presumably named his character Mrs. Malaprop, who frequently misspoke (to great comic effect), in joking reference to the word "malapropos." The new term "malapropism" was coined to designate the specific kind of mistake, or inappropriate usage, Mrs. Malaprop frequently made.
I got this term when I read a particularly good book. We malaprops mostly from teachers and we were very naughty and mean then...(Meanie!!!) But it got popular in the school, even upperclassmen got the hang of it...
