Title: Shaken, Not Stirred- Mixed Cliches
Post by: louisev on February 14, 2007, 10:53:14 pm
My little sister used to take various sayings common to my family (mostly from my mother) and mix them up, which became a sort of folklore over time.  Here are a few of them.  Feel free to add your own:

Don't rain on my balloon.
Dont pop my parade.

Pull yourself up by your saddle
Get back in the bootstraps.

It'll be a cold day in the morning.
Great day in Hell!

If you can't stand the house get out of the apartment!
If you cant stand the kitchen get out of the heat!
