The image made me smile ... malapropism at its best. It is a misunderstanding or confusion of a word with another word that sounds similar.
In the image ... the words or phrases were taken out of context. If words are used out of context, only a small part of what was originally written or said is reported, resulting in unclear and ambiguous meanings that need to be totally understood. It means something different ... and distorts the intended meaning.
In this example, there are 5 meanings of fine.
1. Fine - great, exceptional, outstanding
2. Fine - things are okay or acceptable
3. Fine - all is well, all right
4. Fine - penalty, punishment
5. Fine - powdery, small particles
If the word or phrase is taken out of context ... then an amalgam of confusion ensues.
