Don't Get It Twisted

Now that the new year is well underway, I will present my selections for the Top Three Malaprops I Overheard In Casual Conversation During 2005:

1. "I can't afford that! I wasn't born on a silver platter."

2. "She can't see very well when driving because she has immaculate degeneration."

3. "We stayed home all day and foxed the foyer."

In case you don't get the last one, he meant to say "faux," as in, "We stayed home all day and applied a faux paint treatment to the walls of the foyer."t
