I take joy in inventing new broken cliches and save them up for conversations. If I saw someone keeping score I'd ask them to publish a leaderboard so that I could compete for bragging wrongs.

Where I worked last the dress code was super relaxed, unless a bigwig or customer was expected. Made a co-worker laugh once by describing us as "Dressed to the ones".
Sometimes such mistakes are genuinely intriguing revelations. For example, in TFA:
"Read between the tea leaves.”
"We'll burn that bridge when we come to it"
- one of my favorites
I also know this joy. I also get a little internal delight intentionally mixing up “classic adages”. I have yet to encounter anyone who has caught it - most of the time it appears to just be perceived as weird. (e.g. people who live in glass houses sink ships)
> … bragging wrongs
Brilliant.
You don’t exactly have to be a rocket surgeon to invent them.
Same faml, same.
