I love malapropisms. Was watching Back to the Future II tonight. Biff had some dandys. "Why don't you make like a tree and get out of here?" was my fave.

Oh! Hahaha. I just grabbed that quote in order to express my utter confusion.....then I got it :P

[eta] just thought of one a mate of mine used to use a lot: Oh yeah, I'm a mind of useless information.

My favorite, which I use all the damn time:

we'll burn that bridge when we come to it.

DanaC · 05-16-2008, 07:46 AM

oh I use that one a lot. A good friend of mine used to say it and it stuck in my head.

Not quite the same thing,
but a friend of mine was shopping for shoes when he heard this loud-mouth guy telling his girlfriend...

"I really can't stand Sauconys. I don't know why, I just have a real affinity for them."

He's as naked as a jailbird.

Shawnee123 · 05-19-2008, 05:55 PM

Jaybird! It's jaybird.

Well, perhaps you know more about the jailbirds being naked.

My oh so intelligent cow orker (with the easy bake oven master's degree) sat in a meeting with her nose high in the air as she explained that it was correct "for all intensive purposes."

When I was a youngster (about 20), my g/f Libby and I went out on the piss one night and then went back to her parents place where she was living at the time. As we snuck down the side of the house (and I gracefully fell into the garden), we managed to make our way to the back patio which Libby's Dad had filled with hanging baskets of plants and climbers and all manner of greenery. When we were in the midst of it, Libby pipes up and says, "look at all my Dad's erotic plants".

I just about pissed myself laughing.
