GeddysMullet Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 The other day I learned the origin of the word "malapropism":Mrs. Malaprop, a character in Richard Sheridan's 1775 play The Rivals, was known for her verbal blunders. "He is the very pine-apple of politeness," she exclaimed, complimenting a courteous young man. Thinking of the geography of contiguous countries, she spoke of the "geometry" of "contagious countries," and she hoped that her daughter might "reprehend" the true meaning of what she was saying. She regretted that her "affluence" over her niece was small. The word malapropism derives from this blundering character's name, which Sheridan took from the French term mal à propos, meaning "inappropriate." I find this to be thoroughly delightful! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, someone on here who knows and/or likes Ryan Adams. Nice! I'm only familiar with that New York New York song he did that came out right after 9/11. Nice sax solo at the end as well. I read the video for that was shot days before the tragedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digital Dad Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 That I do not decide anything about my life, my parents do... and I am 25 years old... No, this is bad. You should not be living at home at 25. You should be enjoying the fruits of life. If you aren't living at home, to hell with what your parents think. Just do you.
