I love seeing new words, all kidding aside, "malapropism", gonna look that one up after this. But guessing this leads to the confusion between granted and granite?
EDIT, holy shit, I have seen the word "Malaprop" before. I cant remember the exact title of my poem, but "Malaprop" was in the title. I had forgotten about it.
It is the confusion of similar words.
There are six malapropisms in the joke. Find them all and win a prize.
