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. #209649 - 02/20/13 01:05 AM Re: Malapropism [Re: gregeliot]   Joined: Feb 2013 Posts: 3 bassorbase stranger bassorbase   stranger Joined: Feb 2013 Posts: 3 WA We keep an eye on the house of some neighbors when they are away, and we have a key and the little remote device ("fob") for their alarm--in case of some emergency. 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.

A friend kindly rings to "wish me luck for my autopsy." I responded "I think my luck would have run out..." #211051 - 05/20/13 10:30 PM Re: Malapropism [Re: teepee]   Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 9,120 LukeJavan8 Carpal Tunnel LukeJavan8   Carpal Tunnel Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 9,120 Land of the Flat Water A reply to that one needs to come from Olly, a member here from Kiwi-land. ----please, draw me a sheep---- Moderated by  Jackie  Hop To General Topics ------   Information and announcements   Q&A about words   Wordplay and fun   Words and languages in schools   Miscellany   Weekly Themes   Looking for (writers, speakers, ...)
