Miss Speaking.

We all love to laugh at the unfortunate misspoken items we catch on TV, or radio, or the errors we read in newspapers. When I can, I try to not lose track of them, including terms like "corruptancy", whose meaning I never got.

Listening to news of financial markets, which have been moving in such panicky ways in recent weeks, it's understandable that commentators cannot string words together or forget what words really mean. We've also been treated during the US presidential race with a rare flood of strange words and expressions from one of the vice presidential candidates.

So, occasionally, I will share a few of the good ones that I catch during the day. Today's gem:

"Let's see if the Fed can find a way to unthaw these frozen financial markets". (Deidre Bolton, Bloomberg TV; pictured).
