Collocation

Apparently, a collocation is a group of words that usually occurs together. I have quite a bit to do with words, but that's news to me. So if I've misinterpreted my dictionary explanation, I'm happy to be corrected by my fellow word imps. Thanks for your invented meanings - they were excellent. I chose Jem's as today's winner, as I found it highly amusing.

Here it is: A collocation is the proper term for the mishap of fastening a button into the wrong buttonhole.

Collocation is a type of transportation which runs on music. The speed is determined by the type of instrument - light speed is breached with an entire orchestra, the triangle is the slowest (.1 mph), and a cello is used to go at an average speed.
