"Hey Slip, that Hillary dame don't know what she's doin!"
"Yeah, she's incontinent!"
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 :-)
I often use big words in order to make myself sound more photosynthesis.
It was probably Strategery!
That was back in the day when that unPC show was a hit. Hollywood couldn't do something like that today. One, they are ultraPC nowadays and two, too many people out in TV land would be offended by one thing or another.

LOL. Reminds me that I once had an illiterate boss. My first “real” job. How he got to be a store manager at a Radio Shack without being able to write I will never know.
I know someone who says: supposeably, functionable, and irregardless.
Leo Gorcey was the best at that.

KInda like, “It’s piece of pie.” instead of “It’s a piece of cake.” Or “easy as cake” instead of “easy as pie.”
