A noun walks into a bar, looking for a perfect pronoun. After awhile, noun realizes picking a pronoun isn’t simple like she/him/hers/it used to be.

Malapropism

thread of these buried on an old Iowa board. Original thread was an English teacher named Matt Teach. He posted a bunch of the stupid shite his students would write. The one that got the ball rolling was a kid wrote “want-of-bees” in lieu of wannabes.

Here’s a list of them

top ten finishes were an abomination (rather than aberration)
All-timers/Old-timers disease
Another words
Bathing ground (rather than breeding ground)
Bone and find

Escaped goat
Extra-century perception

Fire distinguisher
Flash in the pants
Following proto-call
For all intensive purposes
Fought through some diversity
French benefits

Granite (instead of "granted...")
Half hazardously
I made a personal pack not to listen
I am complementing (not contemplating) moving there

Have a head code
Heat sinking
I appreciate my animosity (not anonymity)

It's a mute point
Lack toast and tolerant
Lacks motervation
Nip this in the butt
None the lease

Seated 3rd in the playoffs
See the old geysers pushing oxygen tanks

Spurn (meant "spur")

Swinging/hanging from the raptors
Sue aside
Talk is chief

That’s be on me.

I love seeing new malapropisms. Nice list

Bonus points when the malapropism indicates the opposite of the intended meaning

• Two quotation marks walk into a “bar.”


Would make more sense if you said they walked outside of a bar.

I’ll give you an upvote just because this is something different.

In my opinion, a missed opportunity to reference alliteration and onomatopoeia. Still got an upvote

Good stuff. A political joke for the O-T math majors:

An infinite number of mathematicians walks into a bar.

The first mathematician orders a beer

The second orders half a beer

"I don't serve half-beers" the bartender replies

"Excuse me?" Asks mathematician #2

"What kind of bar serves half-beers?" The bartender remarks. "That's ridiculous."

"Oh c'mon" says mathematician #1 "do you know how hard it is to collect an infinite number of us? Just play along"

"There are very strict laws on how I can serve drinks. I couldn't serve you half a beer even if I wanted to."

"But that's not a problem" mathematician #3 chimes in "at the end of the joke you serve us a whole number of beers. You see, when you take the sum of a continuously halving function-"

"I know how limits work" interjects the bartender

"Oh, alright then. I didn't want to assume a bartender would be familiar with such advanced mathematics"

"Are you kidding me?" The bartender replies, "you learn limits in like, 9th grade! What kind of mathematician thinks limits are advanced mathematics?"

"HE'S ON TO US" mathematician #1 screeches

Simultaneously, every mathematician opens their mouth and out pours a cloud of multicolored mosquitoes. Each mathematician is bellowing insects of a different shade.

The mosquitoes form into a singular, polychromatic swarm. "FOOLS" it booms in unison, "I WILL INFECT EVERY BEING ON THIS PATHETIC PLANET WITH MALARIA"

The bartender stands fearless against the technicolor hoard. "But wait" he inturrupts, thinking fast, "if you do that, politicians will use the catastrophe as an excuse to implement free healthcare. Think of how much that will hurt the taxpayers!"

The mosquitoes fall silent for a brief moment. "My God, you're right. We didn't think about the economy! Very well, we will not attack this dimension. FOR THE TAXPAYERS!" and with that, they vanish.

A nearby barfly stumbles over to the bartender. "How did you know that that would work?"

"It's simple really" the bartender says. "I saw that the vectors formed a gradient, and therefore must be conservative."
