MALAPROPISM/Dogberryism

MALAPROPISM is the mistaken use of a word instead of a similar sounding word.R.Sheridan The rivals

Try to spot the wrong word and give the right alternative:

I AM A BLOOD DOUGHNUT

HE HAD TO USE A FIRE DISTINGUISHER

NO MAN IS IN IRELAND

THE MONSTER IS JUST A PIGMENT OF MY IMAGINATION

HE´S A WOLF IN CHEAP CLOTHING

SHE WAS A CHILD PROGENY

MY SISTER HAS EXTRA CENTURY PERCEPTION

HE WAS A MAN OF GREAT STATUE

KEEP A STIFF UPPER CHIN

THE POLICE ARE HERE TO PRESERVE DISORDER

PROMISE TO FORGET,TO ILLITERATE FROM YOUR MEMORY

SHE MIGHT REPREHEND THE TRUE MEANING

RUSSIA USES ACRYLIC ALPHABET

THE OCEAN IS INFATUATED WITH SHARKS

WHAT ARE YOU INCINERATING?

THE POPE IS INFLAMMABLE.

EVEN NAPOLEON HAD HIS WATERGATE.


Some examples in Spanish:

Hacer la vista sorda
Entre la espalda y la pared
Tú eres la hormona de mis zapatos
Me es inverosímil.
Los toreros que están en el candelabro
