Malapropism \mal-uh-PROP-iz-uhm\, noun:
The usually unintentionally humorous misuse of a word, especially by confusion with one of similar sound; also, an example of such misuse.

USAGE EXAMPLE: Displaying an above average gift for malapropism, President Bush told his ever dwindling legion of supporters that he enjoyed “self defecating” humor. Then, realizing his mistake, he pooped himself to cover his tracks.
