Midnightmom Posted March 15, 2024 Posted March 15, 2024 (edited) There's a name for this phenomena - misusing a word - that I can't remember. Does anyone know what it is??? FOUND IT! The name of the phenomenon that I was inquiring about is malapropism. "The unintentional misuse of a word by confusion with one of similar sound, esp when creating a ridiculous effect..."
