That’s a really tough nut to swallow
Lmao
You won.
Daffy Duck one said, “You buttered your bread, now sleep in it.” And 10 year old me couldn’t stop laughing.
You can’t crack an omelet without making eggs.
My favorite one in French that I use all the time: c’est l’hôpital qui se fout de la charrue avant les bœufs
Make like a tree, and get the fuck out
People in glass houses sink ships
Make like a banana and leave.

Check out Boondock Saints, from which this is a quote. Hilarious movies
Surely it’s a riff on BTTF’s Biff Tannen right?
Ya know it might be. I never realized on account of only seeing bttf once when I was young, and never any of the sequels.
In any case, the character that delivers the line in Boondock Saints delivers quite a few malaphors throughout the movie. It’s part of his thing
Does the pope shit in the woods?
A bird in the hand is worth its weight in gold.
Icarus flew too close to the man in the moon.
Find a penny, pick it up. Would you like some making fuck?
You’re barking up the wrong metaphor
You can’t have your cake.

Are bears Catholic?
Malaphors? I call these Rickyisms.
Worse case Ontario I get to tell you I toad a so, I fuckin a toad a so.
A toad a sow.
Rickyisms are modern day malapropisms, named for Mrs Malaprop from the 1775 play The Rivals by Sheridan, rather than malaphors.
The difference being a malaphor is a mixed up idiom like the examples in the post and a malapropism is substituting a word in a common saying or idiom for a similar sounding one. For example, “finding an escape goat” or “I resemble that remark”.
“Why don’t you make like tree and fuck off, Lahey!” -Ricky
(I know the difference, I was just attempting to be silly with it all.)
It’s all water under the fridge.
Exactly. Making these things up ain’t rocket appliances.
I’ve made my omelette, now I’ve got to sleep in it. If you lead a horse to water, you can make it fish.
I’d rather “if you lead a horse to water, teach it to fish”
We could workshop it, but if you’re bad at something, never do it for free
