Mangling the English language
My charming wife, The Fragrant Mrs Scaryduck, bless her, has a dreadful habit of getting certain words wrong.

* Liable: "How dare she say that! Couldn't we sue her for liable?"

* Lozenger: "Suck on this lozenger, and your sore throat will get better."

* Dribble: "Stop talking dribble, you're making no sense at all."

* Consummated: "Those houses next to the church, do you reckon they're built on consummated ground?"

And the clincher:

* Tubberware: "Don't touch that Tubberware container - it's got the dog's dinner inside."

Being a complete and utter pedant, I have only had my head stoved in with a frying pan six or seven times. Eight at most.

Dribble??
My mum would use the word 'Drivvle' (double v) instead of 'Dribble'
"stop talking drivvle"... mad bitch !

Libel
I caught terrorist thwarter John Smeaton try and pass liable off as libel. He also done the thing where then more you say it, the more you merge the words, almost hiding the "a" as he realised his idiotic mistake.

No wonder his run for MSP ended in failure..

Tubberware
When I first met my girlfriend she had recently split with her former partner, and (receiving no maintenence from him) was living very frugally with her four year old daughter. She would use saved margarine containers for storage or for freezing leftovers. She proudly referred to them as her tubberware and will be devasted to learn that the term is being incorrectly applied to the "proper" product.

Was her maiden name Malaprop?

Perhaps
If you had stopped talking dribble you wouldn't of needed to suck a lozenger in the first place.
