malapropism comes when we support (prop) something via stuff that’s inappropriate in a way that it – the stuff we come up with – imagines itself as the support it ain’t.
for example?
when a person talks of flamingo dancers and flamenco birds.
i wonder
whether this can indeed come used for other stuff than word pronunciations and spellings.
eg
when a country’s head goes to war thinking the country has a grave danger – however, there was no threat at all.
or
where someone needs to blame a certain group/person and therefore will reject any Evidence to the contrary.
or
where a certain technology come used to do one thing, while in fact it comes much better doing other stuff. (eg, arresting tech to capitalist needs??)
also..
once we get malapropism, surely
how about
Propism?

Climate is a bit WTF!!?!?!?!?! – however, it’s curious how most climate actions thinks – despite all evidence as the linked text shows – that governments will act in a particular manner. Then, when they don’t, instead of changing course, humans are inclined to both complain about the governments, […]

some jerk told me they ID as a 20yo. They wanted everyone to consider them a 20yo. Fair enough? A 20yo, despite the fact they keep talking about the 60’s and 70’s music as if it is contemporary? Seems some people miss rather swiftly that in case you talk of having such and ID, say […]
