Mrs Malaprop was a character in a play by the British writer Sheridan who confused words and used incorrect words that sounded similar to the word she meant to say. If someone does this it is a Malapropism.
EXAMPLE OF A MALAPROPISM:
A politician is alleged to have said that he would support a colleague to the best of his \"mobility\", instead of \"ability\".
