More commonly known as the funniest tragic disease there is.

If you have this and you want to order a hamburger, something like "COULDN'T CATCH THAT FUCKING BLIMP THIS NIGHT" will come out of your mouth, the sentences have perfect grammatical structure (so you're not just garbling some random stuff), you're accidentally replacing what you want to say word for word.

Could be because the words are similar (saying bear instead of chair) or because they have similar meanings (saying table instead of chair).

I hope I ever meet someone with this so I can laugh in his face as he tries hopelessly to communicate in his madman language.

Oh yeah, there was a guy on House who had that, and they spent 90% of the show trying to figure out what he was trying to lie about.

Yes, but anyone who says that can be laughed at when they get Paraphasia or tongue cancer.

Oh my god.

My best friend in my preschool years had this. He was a homeless person that I traded lunch items with everyday. I loved talking to him, because every time he had something he really wanted to convey to me he would go a little ways, blow a raspberry, and attempt to correct himself. I called it soupy words.

My grandmother has this. She had a stroke a while back and blood clotted near her brain. It damaged her brain cells and paraphasia is the outcome of it all.

She knows what she wants to say, she just can't use the right words. She ends up saying things like "These bags are delicious" instead of "This food is delicious" or "how are the potatoes?" instead of "how are the kids?" She's learned to laugh at herself about it. Doctor says it's good for her.

I couldn't tackle the bear!
