A friend of mine has a fantastic talent for unwittingly mashing up well known phrases. Unbeknown to him I’ve been jotting them down over the last few months. Here are a few of my favourites.
Time period of indeterminate length:
…it’s like waiting for a piece of string…
Warning! Heinous violence towards fruit:
…this is our first stab at the cherry…
Double negative:
…it could be one of my mistyping errors…
Are you a dogsworth?
…I’m the office jobsbody…
The pastry is the key:
…as light as pie…
Do you believe in reincarnation?
…I suspect that one is gonna die a duck…
And finally, my personal favourite because of the image it conjours up:
…Well, we spent the first half of the meeting just finding each others feet…
If you can beat any of those, be sure to add them in the comments.
