I knew a guy who worked at a Cellular One store when they first became popular. He said certain demographics were known for coming in to inquire about one of them "secular phones."

Don’t think one can determine which is “correct,” but I’ve heard cooking with grease my whole life.

"Now you're cooking with gas" originated in the late 1930s/early 1940s as a marketing slogan for the American Gas Association to promote gas stoves over electric ones. Coined by Deke Houlgate, it was planted into popular radio shows like Bob Hope’s to mean making progress or doing something right.

For all intensive purposes, I could care less about malaprops...but when I hear them, I like to nip them in the butt.
