Mr. Malaprop

A former leatherboy and current friend of mine keeps me up to date of his goings-on with regular mass emails. He's much more of a regular communicator than I am, but I do wish he'd use spell check (or even a dictionary now and again). Then again, I'm kind of glad he doesn't, because his malapropisms make me giggle:

Skiing - Not yet but soon. cannot wait. Im still
taunting, cajoling and generally making a nuance of
myself to the various snow demons.

How does one make a nuance of one's self, I wonder? Do you just stand there in the background for a while and stay in the demon's peripheral vision?
