Reminds me of one from my first yesr in college. My God! That's going on 40 years ago!
Anyway, Hubert M. Cole was a graduate of one of the service academies back in the 20s, and taught calculus. He had several malapropisms, but the one I remember best is car diode instead of cardioid, the latter referring to a function which, when graphed, drew a heart shape.
