Malapropism - This is better known as the mistaken use of a word in place of a similar - sounding one, often with unintentionally amusing effect.
- For example: A picture of two dogs and one dog says to the other: " After we go to the drugstore and the post office, I'm going to the vets to get tutored!"
Pun - A joke exploiting the different possible meanings of a word or the fact that there are words that sound alike but have different meanings.
- For example: I'm glad I know sign-language, it's pretty handy.

- This video shows President George W. Bush using malapropism by accidentally slipping up on various speeches that he gave over the years. These slips have a comical effect on the public, but they still understand what point he was trying to get across.
