Funny word stuff

I love malapropisms: similar-sounding but incorrect words, which sometimes have a humorous effect.

Here are a couple of recent ones:

  • Viking Worrier Statue (Viking Warrior Statue) for sale on eBay 
  • Emotion Paint (Emulsion Paint) for sale on Marketplace 

Have you seen any funny word stuff? If so, do share!

  • This is dead funny! 

    "I’m half asleep, pushing my trolley round the supermarket listening to an announcement about different services the store has to offer, pharmacy, post office, etc. When I hear, ‘... and why not visit our in-store mortician.’ Took me a while to realise she said, ‘optician.’ "Grin

  • Haha!  We have a local radio station which has a strap-line announcement that I always hear the wrong way:

    "Always bringing you the biggest hits in Kent."

    Try saying 'biggest hits' quickly and you'll see what I mean!

  • Ha ha. That reminds me of the furniture company that got into trouble over their adverts. They were called "Sofa King"; almost certainly on purpose so that they could use the strap-line "Our prices are Sofa King low!"
