Ewe are wrong. It is a written pun. (vocally it sounds correct)
No more questions, your honour; the prostitution rests.

Actually that's a phallus.

It is - well, genitally speaking.
Yes that's a proper maleism!
Did you see what I did there?
Yes, you made a maleapropism.
Don't do it again. This is a written warming.
My mum once told me she'd watched a herring fly down and land on the patio, before it flew away again. But then she is a bit thick...

Eh?
My favourite malapropisms were Lance Corporal Jones's, like when talking about his relationship with Mrs. Fox as a Teutonic affair, or when he said: "We'll breathe in all the poisonous gases, and we all end up sophisticated."

1) Topic: Unintentional malapropisms
2) 'Ewe bet it is' is a pun, not a malapropism. i.e. the thread topic. Therefore wrong.
3) When one says 'Ewe bet it is' - it is neither a pun nor a malapropism; it is for all intents and purposes heard as, 'You bet it is'. Therefore 'Ewe bet it is' as seen here, is only a written pun.
4) Therefore I come to the confusion that you are just trying to f**kin' wind me up!!
