The hyperactive presenters of Mrs Apus's favourite house programme have been boringly coherent of late but fortunately an inspired contestant on her favourite antiques show came up with two fine malapropisms this morning:
agreeance
and
exteriorally
The spirit of George Dubbya lives on – and daytime TV is rotting my brain.

'Agreeance' is listed in the OED Online, first recorded use in 1536.
'Exteriorally' isn't listed, but 'exteriorly' is; in the meaning "on the outside or surface; as regards the outside; superficially" it dates from 1595.
Wow!
