Any more?
Will anyone else take the ball by the horns and run with it? |

I consistently try to combine the phrase "That dog won't hunt" with "I have no horse in that race."
It never comes out right so I just changed it to the less lyrical "I have no mammal in that sporting event." Only J knows what I mean but that's true about a quarter of the time anyway.... |

"You breed with the mouth of a goat."
I was watching Supernatural last night and an angel said this. I couldn't stop laughing and plan to use it whenever I can. Carrie |

By popular request across the board, let's try this again. Share whatever malaprop or interesting word you have heard. The best ones are those you heard from someone else off site. If you must share one you've read here, please don't attribute it by name.
Let's start by rebuilding the list of the better ones from my previous attempt at this. I'm not going to re-type the story behind this one, other than to say it supposedly was spoken by a judge chastising a persistent attorney: "Counsel, you're barking up a dead horse." Someone else contributed something about "Finding a diamond in a haystack." Ready, set, geaux. |
