OP In my “day job” (ha ha) I work in the Safety Office of a plywood manufacturing plant. Recently, when reading the minutes from a Safety Committee meeting, I noticed that one of the topics of concern was a “radio alarm saw.”
That puzzled me for a second, then I realized they were referring to a “radial arm saw” and evidently the person taking down the minutes did not know what they were talking about and gave it a good guess.
I thought, “Hmmm. Radio alarm saw. That’s about what I need some mornings!”
Know any other good malapropisms?
