My two favorite malaphors:
- It’s not rocket surgery.
- We will burn that bridge when we get to it.
That’s all water under the fridge at this point.
Not sure what’s the idiom with “fridge” in it.
There isn’t one, it’s a malaphor imposter!
I use those both regularly. And people seem totally unable to tell whether I am doing it on purpose.
“Shit or get out of the kitchen” is my current favorite malaphor.
"I’m not the sharpest crayon in the basket. "
“Does the pope shit in the woods?”
“He was like a dildo in a lightbulb store: wasn’t the brightest, but never failed to please his teacher.”
“I don’t have a hot dog in this bun” - me to the Costco worker.
"Whatever guy, it’s like $2 and I know you just swallowed the whole damn thing, but here, sure, I’ll give you another one while you hold your bag with 5 pounds of hot pockets and a 3L bottle of Johnny Walker blue. "
-the Costco worker
I don’t have a dog in this horse.
I don’t have a race in this fight.
“I don’t fight in other people’s races.”
Implies that my fighting is done strictly at my own behest:-).
