I’m a bit of a stickler when it comes to common phrases being repeated incorrectly.
A certain part of my brain lights up when I hear someone say something like: “You’ve got to nip it in the butt!”
I rarely ever correct anyone though. I don’t need to get knocked out while riding the subway. I just chuckle to myself and make mental note of it.
Ironically, I’ll then turn around and start using the wrongly worded phrase myself.
I wonder, does anyone else do this? Do you have any favorite incorrect sayings you’d like to share?
