We wonders, yes, we wonders just how the OP thought the site worked... It's called MSE, not PsychicsRUs.com... If anyone wants to use that, I think it's still available.
Squibbier and squibbier.
What is this life if, sweet wordsmith, we have no time to take the pith?
I took it upon myself to investigate a trifle; it had custard, jelly, soggy sponge things...
G_M's stickies have come unstuck!
You're right. More like a damp squib. (or should that be dead-damp-squid?)
My favourite malopropisms thread has that. As well as classics like dangerous president and escape goat.

Example of a malapropism "I've just brought a house" when someone has bought a house.
Example of another dangerous president, John F Kennedy. The Bay of Pigs invasion he ordered in 1961 and the subsequent Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 almost led to WW3.
"dangerous president" is not a malopropism - he's called Trump (though I can think of a few other mal......s that would apply).
Hmm. That's only been claimable since Nov 2016 though...

Hmm. That's only because Nikita Khrushchev, General Secretary CPSU doesn't count.
