Do you know what one is?
I'm not the brightest crayon in the tool drawer but I know what one is!
Didn't even have to look it up!
Don't feel bad if you did. It's not rocket surgery but it's not sensibly common either.
So if you know what one is, go ahead and share it. Or don't, whatever. We'll burn that bridge when we come to it.
In all honesty, I merely posted this because I thought it'd make Doc Hardy chuckle.

well, the thread title was certainly clickbait for me @jstas!
I do not know what it is. Sounds like a misguided metaphor (malapropism/metaphor hybrid).
The New Yorker used to publish truly fractured metaphors under the heading Block that Metaphor!
I will have to look it up.

I am, of course, coming up blank for a good one I've encountered in the wild at the moment.

"Malaphors" -That’s like a bunghole with taste buds - it just doesn’t make sense....it sounds about as confused as a **** in a fan factory....
However, this could be pure genius because curiosity will kill the cat and make this thread busier'n a whorehouse on nickle night.

I use malaphors often. It really burns up the kids goats!
They tell me it doesn't make any sense but I tell them anyway, hey, whatever floats yer biscuits!
They get frustrated and walk away but, you know, it's no sweat off my duck's back!

I needed a chart to make sense of it all. This one hits the nail out of the park.

Thanks for the chart of malaphors and ducks of a similar color. Now it's clear as goose grease.Expect that there will be bumps in the road. Choose to not let them rattle you.

When I first saw the thread title, I figured it was an @mhardy6647 old-English thing.
Had to look it up admittedly, because the only Olde-English I studied in high school came in a 40oz...
