Are there any "good" malapropisms, Capfka? A "bad malapropism" is something like an "ill malady". They both should have stood in bed.

This one appears to be a combination of "preposterous" and "pompous". While I can applaud the combination of the two as being useful, I'm just not sure "pomposterous" does it for me! Actually, it's bordering on being a mondegreen, too, isn't it?

Sorry, I thought you might be a serious poster for a moment there. My mistake.

Did I say something to offend you? I hope not. My comment was directed at your malapropism, not at you directly.

I hope you don't greet every "Stranger" you take seriously with a malapropism, Capfka. It could give the Board a bad name. It might even deCapfkatate your own. [Be fair, or be fare.
