Does "Malapropism" exist in Spanish?
I was just answering a post on synonyms and accidentally made what I thought was a malapropism. Is this possible, or is this sentence in Spanish total nonsense?
Finalmente, después de tomar todas sus homonimias, Eduardo ahora se llama Edwina.

I found an explanation of it, but it appears not to be common in Spanish - more so in English.
The word is in the dictionary (malapropism][1]), but I don't think that is what you are asking.
Clearly you used the incorrect word (homonimias vs hormonas) and, yes, as it is, I would say that the sentence makes no sense, (linguistic absurdity), even though I see the clever connection that you are trying to make from the definition of homonymy.
La homonimia es una relación léxica que se establece entre dos homónimos, del griego homo- (igual) y -onoma (palabra), es decir, palabras que presentan identidad formal (fónica o gráfica) pero diferencia en el significado.
