You May Now Kiss the Dog!: And Other Verbal Slip-ups Dee Dee Wilde

And Other Verbal Slipups. Long before Richard Brinsley Sheridans play The Rivals gave it a name, the malapropism known to the Irish as coileach focal suas, to the Spanish as palabra polla and to the Australians as verbal cockup has been an endless source of merriment and not a little confusion. Dancer Dee Dee Wilde, a well-known practitioner of the art of malapropism, now brings us this book of funny, bizarre and often naughty verbal accidents, charmingly illustrated by the author. Dee Dee is a malapropist and never ceases to keep me on my toes as I attempt to understand what she is trying to say. From the Foreword by Henry Marsh
