What was the funniest instance you've seen of someone using a word they don't even know the meaning of?

For me, this was on an internet video so I don't know if this counts as much, but anyway, this was somewhat of a public freakout video. A middle aged man was berating a guy in his late teens/very early 20s for seemingly unknown reasons. And the middle aged man started using the younger guy's acne as an insult towards him.

He went something like: "You can't talk to me with all those pimples on your face! Look at that! A pimple right here, a pimple over there, and right there over there! You're a pimp! You're nothing but a stupid pimp! I'm not gonna listen to no pimp!"

He was basically using the word "pimp" as short for pimple.

Still a pretty odd insult though... especially for a middle aged man who's supposed to know better... and usually I would never hear pimp used as an insult, lol.

"Mangetout Rodney, mangetout."
Del Boy thinking it meant seize the day on Only Fools and Horses.

In the real world however, a typist did once say to me that her life 'evolved' around me.

Made me chuckle.🙂

I am not sure if this counts but I did like the following malapropism by simple spelling-mistake.

A private-sales advertisement for a motor-caravan, described its accommodation as

four birth.

I wondered if the sellers now need a motor-caravan with six bunks or have decided on less-eventful holidays.....

"Expendable" when they meant to say "expandable". As in "I'm really enjoying my new expendable butt plug". Seen in a post on Reddit in the last few days.
That's embarrassing lol

@AngelUnforgiven Yup. It was fucking hilarious. Seeing a middle aged man throw a temper tantrum at a younger guy old enough to be his son, using a word he doesn't even know the meaning of over and over. 🤣
