A malapropism is the mistaken use of an incorrect word in place of a similar-sounding word, resulting in a nonsensical sometimes humorous utterance. And there's even a subreddit collecting pictures of its appearances in our everyday conversations.

It's called Bone Apple Tea, and it has become even more popular since the last time we wrote about it. With 964k members, it continues collecting some of the funniest malapropisms on the Internet so without further I do, continue scrolling and check them out!

Do You Lemonade?...

clientsfromhell Report

One of the moderators of the subreddit told Bored Panda that a lot of things can affect whether a particular post gets a lot of upvotes on r/BoneAppleTea or not, including the time of day it goes live. "It's anyone's guess, really. Two items can be posted six hours apart and the first gets ignored whilst the second one gets 14,000 upvotes. Things the mods think are pure gold can get very few upvotes, while something we think is repetitive and tired gets thousands. Who knows?" they said.

A few comments here and there suggest some of these malapropisms are the results of auto-correct but it's something the moderators pay a lot of attention to. "Yes, some auto-correct posts slip through the moderation process [but] we try to catch them and remove them," they said. "Sometimes we miss them — it's a high-traffic subreddit. We are also trying to stay on the side of caution and allow things through if we're unsure [about something]."

In an earlier Bored Panda interview, the subreddit's creator TheNekkedNinja said they never thought it would ever become this big: "I have no modding experience so I'm incredibly thankful for the mods that came on board and turned it into what it has become today."

“As far as the name goes, I always liked the original bone apple tea meme so when I saw that the name was free [on Reddit], r/BoneAppleTea was [immediately] born,” TheNekkedNinja explained.

lol, carbonara is pasta with raw eggs and other things, no cream. Some americans seems to think that carbonara involve cream and that raw eggs are a death threat. Do we tell them that carbonra is just raw eggs with pecorino romano?

CARBONARA is a recipe, you need raw eggs, uncooked. Not meant for the US. We keep it in europe, THIS IS THE WAY! This is a crime to add cream in a carbonara or risotto, and i'm not Italian, i know it. And don't ever overcook pasta or i will sue you!

HAHA I left an old banana in the car once and it got mouldy which is a type of fungi so maybe they just used the wrong picture or something

Mushroom, car, banana -- doesn't sound like much of a recipe to me. [ Or should I say "receipt"? ]

Did you mash the banana by car or just carry it around in the car?

Also you don’t tell the judge to proceed. Unless you want to get verbally smacked out of court. The judge tells you when you can proceed.
