Shiver me timbers! I just saw an ad touting the "plantation shudders" of a townhouse for sale. Which made me shudder -- and laugh out loud.
Not that I would ever generalize, but when it comes to property descriptions, the enthusiasm of real estate agents is matched only by their ignorance. More than the minor and major misstatements, it's the malapropisms that really get me. I've marveled several times at "palladium windows" and at least once at "parkay floors" (watch your step!), but plantation shudders might be my favorite yet.

I shudder to think of plantation shudders on a townhouse, unless you live in a hurrican zone get curtains...
I have plantation shudders on my condom. What's your point?
