The Meaning of "Malapropos"

Time for a little English lesson.

Dictionary.com defines "malapropos" as:
ADJ. inappropriate; out of place; inopportune; untimely

Merriam-Webster's definition isn't as fun and states:
ADJ. in an inappropriate or inopportune way

Malapropos is derived from the word Malapropism, which means:
the usually unintentionally humorous misuse or distortion of a word or phrase; especially : the use of a word sounding somewhat like the one intended but ludicrously wrong in the context.

Needless to say I thought the word fit perfectly for my present life.

My name is Mal.
My life is always full of awkward, crazy adventures and ridiculous fun times!
Stay tuned for more updates later.
