It's fun to mispronounce words or use malaprops around a certain type of person - you know, the type who are easily irritated by other people's mistakes. My favourite phrase for this purpose is "I beg my pardon" because you can easily argue aggressively that it's the proper expression if anyone tries to correct you ("Why would YOU need to be pardoned for something I did? That doesn't make any sense."). I've been saying it for so long now that it comes naturally to me and I have to remind myself that I'm being deliberately stupid.

Wow, that sounds like an amusing and seemingly innocent way to mess with those easily irritated friends. Well played! Just make sure you don't overdo it though, you wouldn't want them to realize what's happening and catch on. By the way, I beg my pudding...I mean..my pardon for any malaprops or mispronunciations in this message.
Go eat a bag of bananas.
