What do you all think of the word "pomposterous"?

Sounds like a rather bad malapropism to me!

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

Dunno mate, some just seem more apposite than others. 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?

Oh, it's sock-puppet time again, is it? Sorry, I thought you might be a serious poster for a moment there. My mistake.

I thought you were a serious poster
I am a serious poster, Capfka.
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. What's fair is fair, Capfka.]

If you wanna walk tall
And swing like that
You'd better not swing
At a gnat.
[Or a drone either.]
