Enjoy finding malapropisms (basically saying the wrong thing at the right time)

From the the original Ms. Malaprop: "She's as headstrong as an allegory on the banks of the Nile" (meant alligator)
Or a more recent one heard on the radio in reference to weather: "shattered thunderstorms"

Tell me your fave malapropisms!

"As a young girl grows up, changes take place: Hips widen, breasts develop, and hair begins to appear in public places."

I told her that young girls would be well advised to avoid going to the library and the park!

(Are you out there, somewhere, Robbie?)
 
(Comment made by my old buddy, who tended to look down his nose at others):

"You can't tell me that you are supporting this overseas involvement of ours. What are you, some kind of war mongrel?"

(Hey, Paul!)

I could write a book with the ones my hubby uses. He tells me it is so hot outside there are magnets in the garbage can(maggots). He loves Napoleon ice cream(Neapolitan) and he wants corn kibbles for dinner(niblets). So hard to hold a straight face.

Just last night he told me he had to remove a bunch of ivy because it was so evasive (invasive)

When he offers to cook dinner, he’ll ask if kabassy is ok (kielbasa)

He’ll tell me “Put hamberg on the grocery list will you hon?” (hamburger
