"I thought they were called Cheshire drawers and people weren't able to speak properly.
Pirates dish. Instead of Pyrex. Believed that until I was a teenager. "
Oh, I like that 
I saw a thread here titled Delhi Llama. Kinda inspired this thread.  |

"Eggcorns.
My pet hate is “Pacific” instead of “specific”. "
What's the difference between an eggcorn and a malapropism?
I like "mute point" instead of "moot point"

We’re at the age of getting the questions and having the talk, she now giggles at the number 69, she thinks it means sex as whole, positions haven’t been asked yet and I’m not telling unless asked |

I have a colleague who does this all of the time. I’ve even had customers ask me if it’s deliberate because it seems so odd.
He’s a great guy but has moved into a position he’s not a natural fit for, he thinks he needs to use phrases and big words that don’t come naturally to him and he makes a lot of mistakes.
I have spoken to him privately and offered help, although the biggest thing I told him was to be himself. That’s what got him promoted. |

Bless him, that's tough when a new job is making you feel that insecure. Maybe he will relax in time? |
