Editing Malapropisms

[[Image:50Kracewalkbox.PNG|thumb|Taste a walk!]]
Some of the characters in the [[Homestar Runner universe]] have used '''[[Wikipedia:Malapropism|malapropisms]]'''.  A malapropism is the replacement of a word with something that sounds like the word being replaced, but has a completely different meaning. Many of these malaprops are delivered as a punchline.
