To be still grinning at such silliness?

[BoobleMcB]

So I was casually minding my own business, plodding along when I heard a fella on the phone state that:

Well it was clearly Thursday that broke the camel's straw...

I just about rounded the corner chuckling to myself hoping he didn't notice 😂

What other common sayings have heard people say wrong?

rockcakesrock love that your DH lets her continue with this!

I wonder how many of these have come about because parents say things in jest & children pick them up & think they're correct. My dad is very fond of corrupting all sorts just for the comedy value, eg. horses d'ovaries for hors d'oeuvres, etc.
DH and I often say that the sky is looking rather omnibus when it's dour & grey; I'm sure it came from an Only Fools & Horses episode. Did worry that my sons would start using omnibus rather than ominous when they were at school though!
Mange tout, mange tout my son!

My dad's always wanting to put a bit of UB40 on his front gate.

My boss used to come out with some clangers that we all still use today.

I don't want to hear all the glory details

I'm all at sixes and fives.

My wife's niece had a sierra (C Section)

Can we get some backfeed?

The proof is in the pudding. No it's not, it's in the eating.

Someone the other day on fb was selling a ‘Chester drawers’ 🤣 also people just sell draws too.....🙈

Only today someone wished on fb also, that they could stay a ‘thew’ more days on holiday!

Further to the chester draws, I've often seen 'Walldrobe' and not forgetting that half of the stuff on our local FB is 'Bran' new.

whatatime omg you are SO RIGHT!! Can't believe I forgot this one!

My MIL apparently went through a phase of calling their dog a dildo. She thought it was a sweet nickname for someone a bit dim.

I wish he'd never explained it to her!

Re: the Chester draws thing: I have been buying quite a bit of second hand furniture recently, and have to make sure I search for every possible chest of drawers corruption separately on Gumtree etc. so I don't miss the perfect Chester draws.

I was in my 20s before I realised that those wooden barriers in the sea
are called sea defences not seedy fences.

She’s not backwards in coming forward.

That's a proper saying, though; it's meant to be humorous.

I know and I know. Lol
Just think it is gibberish.

From our local noticeboard.

ElizaDontLittle oops .

Not a saying but it made me laugh and I still laugh years later when I think of it.

We took the dog to the vets. The vet asked if our dog was having normal motions. She replied with 'well, he looks sad sometimes'

She is my mother. Accidentally deleted a part!

My mum (years ago) used to get FB and MySpace mixed up and referred to social media sites as 'FaceSpace and all that.'

I had a German friend many years ago. We worked together. She was upset with our boss, she said she had always been conscious at work but that was the end of it.

My hairdresser said she was ravishing. She meant famished.

My ex bil once said someone was built like a shit brick house!!

“You’re not old enough to go over the back of my knee”. We say this a great deal now because every word is wrong and if you start visualising it, it becomes such a hilarious line..

A friend wanted to either "cut him some slack " or "give him a break" but ended up saying "give him some slack" still makes me laugh

*Either say

hahaha, my mum once said to me,

"Well, it's like I always say, MuchkinBug, you can dangle a carrot in front of a donkey, but you can't make it drink the water."

She said that a few years ago now, and it still makes me giggle.

Oh!! And she once asked, "Are you on that there Bookface?" She's awesome!
