I was immediately reminded of the one about someone saying "plethora" at a funeral - and all the other related ones ("bargain," "being alive," and "infinity" for example).
And while we're doing lame jokes, remember there is one word that is spelled incorrectly in all dictionaries (this word).
Reminds me of this one: "What has four letters, never has five letters, always has six letters ..."
ReplyDelete"Mere, comrade." "Spasibo, that means world to me", says Russian.
ReplyDeleteThere is another word spelled wrong in the dictionary
ReplyDeleteAn old Dad joke:
ReplyDeleteMourner, to the widow: "I just wanted to say plethora."
Widow: "Thanks, that means a lot."
I've heard criticism of that one from grammar Nazis, because "plethora" doesn't mean "a lot." Properly used, it means "too much."
