The other day W had me befuddled when he proudly announced, "I break myself apart."
Moments later, R cleared things up for me when he corrected him: "You mean you crack yourself up."
Is there a term for this? When you use the wrong word, it's a malapropism. There ought to be a name for getting an idiom wrong. I'm open to suggestions.
