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.

"dangerous president" is not a malopropism - he's called Trump (though I can think of a few other mal......s that would apply).kingstreet wrote: »My favourite malopropisms thread has that. As well as classics like dangerous president and escape goat.0 -
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.If you are querying your Council Tax band would you please state whether you are in England, Scotland or Wales0 -
