Malapropisms are one of my favorite things in the whole world. The use of them in Everything is Illuminated is one of the reasons I so cherish that book. I had a roommate in college who forever endeared herself to me when she first told us of what a “pit sty” her room was. I knew she meant either pigsty or pit. But something about pit sty made me chuckle.<\/p>\n
So today, when GTB and I were talking about a wedding we are going to next Friday night that a) is out of town and b) starts at 4:00, he emphasized that we really need to hit the road by noon. He mixed up pussy footing and piddle farting to describe that which he does not <\/em>want us to do, but in the process he created perhaps the most hilarious and disgusting malapropism I’ve ever heard: <\/p>\n Pussy farting.<\/p>\n So rest assured, dear GTB. Next Friday, I promise not to piddle fart, pussy foot, or, most importantly, pussy fart. No matter how pregnant I am.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Malapropisms are one of my favorite things in the whole world.
