Incorrect sayings that I use so often I’ve almost forgotten that they’re not the originals:
- I have bigger fish to fight
- We’ll burn that bridge when we get to it
- You can lead a horse to water, but if you drown it you have to walk home
- Opening a can of whales
- You made your bed, now shit in it
- Combining the latter two into the phrase “you opened this can of whales, now lie in it”
- A bird in the hand is worth a gift horse in the mouth
