Josh Harrison's spot on the Pirates bench never seizes to amaze me.

My friend always said, "You're so sufficient", instead or efficient, which I think is funny, and I still say it sometimes.
She also said, "Mitch and match" instead of mismatch, and I sometimes say that too.
This person who has been without speech for years, due to a stoke, used to say amusing things, so I keep them going to remember her wit.

Billy Joel wrote a song about her! It starts out "Brender and Eddie were a popular steady..."

I had a friend that used "vivid" for "livid" - "I was so mad, I was vivid." I suppose if her face looked like this when she got mad, it could be true.

I can relate well to this.

I had a good friend, may she rest in peace, who quite deliberately mangled many words and phrases for the sheer fun of it. With raised eyebrows she often asked in a somewhat shocked tone "Are you serial?"

In her memory (and habit now), our family members continue to use this question in less than serious situations.

The standard answer to the question is "as cornflakes!"
