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?

Catch 24 😁

@ElephantsandTigers I'm actually really pleased that someone missed it - I think that's what makes it funny!! - it was 'cat among the penguins' to save you a scroll back

An ex colleague of mine said our boss made her feel anxious and meant she was always sitting on eggshells

My husband says it's a flat as a milkpond instead of millpond. He genuinely always thought the saying was milk pond

I thought that the Lords Prayer went “Our father who art in heaven, Alloway be thy name”. Mr Alloway was the name of my school’s headmaster. God / headmaster... easy mistake to make! Wonder what he’d have thought if he knew I’d got him down as God.

I’m dyslexic and do mix up words/phrases a lot.

In fact I’m reading some of these and wondering what’s wrong with them😂

My husband said he needed some new swimming shorts “ but I don’t want any of them budgie snuggles”

....he looked really hurt when I fell about laughing bless him

My dear sister, when much younger, in answer to the quiz question "Who wrote the diary of Anne Frank?" "Ooh - its on the tip of my tongue...."

My grandmother has been known to say, in a reassuring way, “Well, it all ends in the end!”

I’m fairly certain she means “all’s well that ends well”...

LizzieSiddal, I'm not dyslexic but also wondering what's wrong with some of them?

I'm still laughing at 'going off on a tandem!'
I've got visions of two people pedalling furiously away from the scene!

My ex mil was quite prim and proper yet genuinely thought french stick was "french dick" and actually asked for one in a shop!

Howling at "too many cocks in the cockpit"

This thread should be in classics!

"What's for you won't kill you", said by my mum's friend

Less hilarious was an ex-colleague who told me that I shouldn't exercise while I was losing weight because I'd "just turn my fat into muscle and not lose anything"

Domani I’m glad I’m not the only one.

As a child I thought it was we three kings of porridge and tar.
My mum once asked when V.D. Day happened.

Ds goes to a CofE school & got a bit confused with the Lords prayer when he first started 'our father & aunty Kevin!' 😂

My aunt in America, talking about my cousin moving appartement said, "He sold his condom and bought a bigger one.!"

As a child I thought it was we three kings of porridge and tar.

That reminded me, there was a little boy of around 3 at the airport last week singing Jingle Bells over and over again. From what I could make out he was singing "oh, what porridge is tonight in a one horse open sleigh"

DH is fond of saying, about someone who is the architect of their own misfortune, that they were "hoisted up by their leotard" rather than hoist by their own petard.

My MiL,who hated everyone, thought that fornicating, meant lying and thieving. She was a real prim and proper sourpuss. When I heard her describe, postman, electricians, strikers and anyone else who had gained her wrath as, “greedy fornicating wasters”, I asked my husband if she knew what it meant. He said “ No, but don’t tell her, because it is the only thing she does that makes me laugh”.

For me nothing will ever beat the guy on the MSE forums who was offered a 'Jester of goodwill' by a company. I had this hilarious vision of full on juster suit with bells turning up on his doorstep.

She’s not backwards in coming forward.

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

'hoisted up by their leotard'

😂😂😂

Baubles that has made my day
