Example: "I'm going to the library to get some stationary."
Explanation:
* Correct Word: Stationery (meaning writing materials)
* Malapropism: Stationary (meaning not moving)
The speaker has accidentally used the word "stationary" instead of "stationery," creating a humorous mistake.
Other Examples:
* "He was adamant in his discretion." (Should be "adamant in his decision")
* "The precipice of the matter is important." (Should be "the precipice of the matter" or "the premise of the matter")
* "He was floundering in his disguise." (Should be "floundering in his disguise" or "floundering in his discourse")
