Bevinism. British public servant Ernest Bevin, who once served in Winston Churchill’s cabinet, was a mangler and mauler of language on par with the Reverend William Spoon- er, Count Joseph Marrowsky, film producer Samuel Goldwyn, and baseball player and manager Casey Stengel. A typical Bevinism: “If you open this Pandora’s box, you will find it full of Trojan horses.” See also malapropism; marrowsky; spoonerism. |
