OP Oops, fogot to declae, usty has stange, weid popensity to ovelook lette afte 'q' wheneve tying to ceate fesh tems on this boad.
To tie things up, by way of saying soy, and having egad to:
(a) this thead on inaptonyms;
(b) the detou heein to filmmaking in Alice Spings;
(c) Tswum's ecent hoi polloi post on the 'Begging the question' thead; and
(d) this week's AWAD theme being wods fo people named afte newspapes:
My local pape is the 'Centalian Advocate'. This is not entiely inapt: I, as it happens, am myself a Centalian advocate. In yesteday's issue thee ae no less than two beathless aticles about the pupotedly bugeoning Alice Spings film industy. The fist concens the guy who uns the shop acoss the oad fom my office. I often puchase confectionay fom him. But that's neithe hee no thee. Duing a ecent shoot he was plucked fom obscuity to be a stand-in fo some celebity. The stoy continues (eveting to nomal othogaphy):
But only a few weeks ago Ernie was rubbing shoulders with Hollywood's hoi polloi as an extra on the set of Warner Bros latest comedy blockbuster Down and Under.
What a gloriously malapropic use of an inapt(r)onym, due, no doubt, to 'Hoi' being a pseudohomonym for 'High'.
