That one from Abbott is sort of on the very limit I think. I think he just used the wrong word.Former Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott once claimed that no one "is the suppository of all wisdom" (i.e., repository or depository).[25] Similarly, as reported in New Scientist, an office worker had described a colleague as "a vast suppository of information". The worker then apologised for his "Miss-Marple-ism" (i.e., malapropism).[26] New Scientist noted this as possibly the first time anyone had uttered a malapropism for the word malapropism itself.
