Mixed metaphors
#1
I am meeting a pal in London today who is unwittingly a master of the mixed metaphor.


A couple of recent quotes.................  regarding a friend who was struggling............"He's really down on his uppers"  !!


And talking about a waste of time................... "It was a bit of a wild herring"  :rollin :lol






This got me to thinking, and with the vast resources of the FOC-U forum to hand, a new thread is born.






Let's see who can come up with the best examples.


I'll start you off with..................






People in glass houses gather no moss.


That's put a spanner in the ointment.


Beware the wrath of a big stick................................... :rolleyes
I used to not give a foc, then I discovered Red Bull and now I don't give a flying foc !!!
