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?

We have this process of automating informal formations from data – aka information technologies. In some ways, we can consider info-techs as giving formal manifestations for stuff that was informal. These manifestations show themselves in various ways – from the increasing ease of sharing stuff from private spheres, bank accounts, selfies, streaming from home, texts […]

vampires, like other stuff – living or otherwise – fluctuate. Therefore, even vampiric life comes as part, a piece (Sztuka), of reciprocity. since some theories of vampires claim that a forced entry, or an uninvited entry, reduces the vampire’s powers – i think that perhaps the thinking here is much more general. a reduction in […]
