the raw end of the stick

Hey sis...
malapropism \mal-uh-PROP-iz-uhm\, noun:
The usually unintentionally humorous misuse of a word, especially by confusion with one of similar sound; also, an example of such misuse.

Maddie picked this word off dictionary.com to 'stump' her teacher.

I told her we actually knew someone that was great at that!
Unintentionally, of course. That's the definition...
AND that's a cool web sight. Loads of laughs with the 6th grader.
