I had a boss once who would mix up his words badly - your picture reminded me of one of them. A few favorites:

Instead of “one foot on a banana peel” he would say “one peel on the banana foot”

He once told me he’d been really “erotic” on the golf course after playing with the big boss the day before - he meant “erratic”.

We had an ice cream pie for someone’s birthday in the office - he wanted to know “who is going to ‘dilate’ the pie?” I think he meant “dissect” - he often tried to use bigger words than he needed to use as a way of impressing people which of course didn’t work when he got them so wrong.

Instead of saying someone “got his goat”, he would say someone “got under my goat”.

The erotic/erratic one is my favorite :-)
