Boy, what I could do with than 2nd one........My Dad was from Germany and would get idioms wrong. My Mom got annoyed with him whenever he said, "I don't know him from Adam to Eve." or "I'm not just banging around in the bushes." (beating around the bush)
In case I missed ur introduction on another thread, welcome to the forum @TommyTomTom !When my daughter Alex was a child, she had a gift for malaprops:
"There are bees in the back yarden!"
"I bumped my forthhead."
"Why does mommy put makeup on her eye flashes?"
For those who remember early radio programs, "Easy Aces" featured Goodman and Jane Ace as a comedy team. And Jane was a master of malaprops. "He was a ragged individualist." (rugged individualist) and many more.
Be well!
Tom
This Oriental went to the eye doctor and the Doc told him he had a cataract. He said, "No, I drive a Rincoln".
