A malapropism is the misuse of a word that creates a ridiculous sentence, usually as a result of confusing similar-sounding words. This can create embarrassing situations for people, especially during public speeches.

Some examples of malapropism are:

Mrs. Malaprop said, “Illiterate him quite from your memory” (obliterate)

Yogi Berra said “Texas has a lot of electrical votes.” (electoral votes)

“Patience is a virgin.” (virtue) – Archie Bunker from “All in the Family”

“It will take time to restore chaos and order.” - President George W. Bush

“They have miscalculated me as a leader.” - President George W. Bush
