My old boss Ted* is a master of the English language, in the same way that a hungry gorilla is a master of a bunch of bananas. During the several years I worked for him, I collected many funny examples of interesting word abuse. Here is the first of many:
Word: Pitcher
Usage: Used in place of “picture”
Example: “I took some pitchers of my house’s expensive new front door so everyone can admire it.”
* Not his real name of course.
