The picture's caption describes the hapless pedestrian as "enduring the fowl weather". Does the use of "fowl" imply that she or he is a birdbrain for being outdoors on such a foul day? Alternatively, does the usage imply that the foul weather will soon attract waterfowl to Portage Avenue's puddles? Another possibility lies in a dramatic concept called "pathetic fallacy". For example, the foul weather will echo a Free Press editor's foul mood when she or he becomes aware of yet another example of malapropisms via overreliance on spell-checkers.
