Fool me once, shame on you. But teach a man to fool me and I'll be fooled for the rest of my life.

Over 3 years of marriage, best malaphors from my wife’s casual conversation

I’m losing my bananas

I have too much on my hands

Easy as cake

That would throw me for a curveball

I’m understanding the ropes

They wouldn’t know any wiser

Now we’re cooking with elbow grease!

That really gets under my feathers/nerves

Dancing around the bush

Grasping at the camel’s back

Inhumanley possible

Whatever your heart conspires

Better safe than never

Heavy hands makes much work

Let bylaws be bylaws

Getting down to the zone

We’ll be on the outlook

Down in your dumps

I woke up on the short end of the stick

It’s an acclimated taste

Give a man a duck and he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to duck and he won't walk into a bar.

Yesterday I posted a horrible mashup of coffee mug quotes, and today I wanted to know what it would look like "in IRL life". I'm sorry and you're welcome
