It Ain't Over Til It's Over

And it's not really over then, BTW!   RIP Yogi Berra, you've been an inspiration to millions and a true American hero.  (WWII machine-gunner assistant on Omaha Beach followed by 10 World Series rings!)

    Call me crazy, but I never foun,d what others consider his malaprops, "malapropic"!!! They made sense...to me. Even though he was a Yankee, he was a cool dude.

    My first recollections of him was as a pitchman for Yoo Hoo at the drive-in movies we went to every weekend as a kid. Still love the stuff.

    If you look at a list of Yogisms very few of them are malapropisms. The great majority of them are paraprosdokians. Ironically, those who call them 'malapropisms' are indeed guilty of the malapropic sin themselves.
