gregeliot stranger Registered: 02/19/13 Posts: 1	My most memorable malapropism was the time I told my father that our erractically running car was erotic. As a teenage boy at the time there was plenty of things that I found erotic, but the car was certainly not one of them.

For some reason, the owner has some trouble with the word for that little device. On his way home from another state, he called us in a panic. "What am I gonna do? I left my throb in a rest stop 150 miles ago." Once we determined that he had not forgotten his wife back there, but rather his alarm clicker, I found the spare and calm ensued.
