    Not really malapropisms but they get on my nerves just the same:
    "That auction site"
    "The bay"

    It's ooooookay to say ebay, folks. (Just don't post links to auctions.)

    Chatted with a person today.

    She said dishoveled.

    More humorous than maddening.

    I work with someone who pronounces kindergarten "kinneegardn". Sadly this person also actually TEACHES kindergarteners.

    I say 'kiddie gartners'...

    My brother used go pronounce it Kidney Gardeners.. Lol

    Heard one today that raked across my ears..

    Someone at the store was talking about some crap, and said oh well just another book
    In the hall.. I think her friend was just as confused as the rest of us.. We finally figured out she meant another brick in the wall.

    There is this commercial about some tire company...and the lady had a kitten stuck in her engine. But when she tells the story, she says, "Kit-ten"

    gah, that's so annoying!

    Slur panels instead of solar panels. Just another reason to hate that horny douchebag protagonist from Birdemic.

    When someone asks, "who is __________?" When others are discussing a household name in pop culture.

    However, it's painfully clear they know who so-and-so is, but they just want to ask for the sole sake of announcing that they're superior to everyone else.

    Example:

    People at the watercooler: Did anyone catch the Justin Bieber roast last night?

    People at the watercooler: Yeah, it looked like Martha Stewart was going to make Bieber cry at one point.

    Douche: Who is Justin Bieber?

    This happens to me often. The Bruce Jenner news is a good example. I'd seen the commercial with him but I had no idea why he was famous. I wasn't alive when he won the Olympics. I had no idea he was a Kardashian. I'm still not eleven sure what exactly a Kardashian is, but at least now i know it's some people that are famous for reasons I'm not clear on.

    I don't think I'm superior to everyone else. I think I watch different tv channels.
