Talk:Malapropism
A Malapropism of Malapropism[edit]
New to Uncyclopedia, so I'm just fathoming the system out as I go. Article on Malapropisms will be full of malapropisms, so feel free to edit if you have any malapropisms to add, or ideas to improve it. --Teh fish 14:08, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
Malapropism[edit]
Started her up, but ideas are running thin on the ground now. Anyone have any suggestions, or should I just have done with it, have deleted, and be on my merry way? --Teh fish 08:47, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
The worst case ontario is that the article will be contragestive and nobody will like it. You just gotta consecrate on doing your best. Maybe you should retain some quotes from infamous people where they malapropped. Or make up some of your own.so sayeth Sliferjam ~ Talk * Sock * Jam * Gallery * Fearless Fosdick?

Just a cautionary note: too many malapropisms (or too many spoonerisms, or too many double-entendres) make an article unreadable to anyone but the author. If you decrease the number slightly below this critical level, the piece will be read by a few freaks and that's all.
The difficulty is to find a level of wordplay which is readable to at least 30% of the common readers and yet gets the best malapropisms across. (Ya want a demonstration of this -- and considerable punishment -- I think I still have a copy of Slapdip Thwang's encounter with Pasture Spoons on the hard drive...)----OEJ 00:07, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
