Malapropism

FORENOON TENDER


Juelz Santana's Rap City freestyle of March 7, 2007, as much of what the Dipset does, is guffaw-worthy albeit by default (i.e. happenstance - though they apparently have a rap-comedian monopoly) or willfully. Nevertheless, JS's use of "athletes feet" versus "athletes foot" is a malapropism (or my perception of one). JS repeating, "ya stinking it up like athletes feet" three times has made my day - let it enrich your life as well.

Athlete's foot
or tinea pedis is a fungal infection of the skin of the foot, usually between the toes, caused by parasitic fungi.
Athlete's foot is a layman's description of a skin fungal infection. Fungal infections of the skin are called dermatophytosis. Dermatophytes may be spread from other humans (anthropophilic), animals (zoophilic) or may come from the soil (geophilic).
