When people get old sayings wrong

[Nastassia4Hire]

Ever heard an old saying get hacked up and mangled? Here's one for starters:

"You can't put the tooth back in the paste."

(From "You can't put the toothpaste back in the tube.")

I can imagine under certain circumstances, and at certain times, that little hack-job could land you in hot water.

This. Katherine Obvious is correct.

"I could care less"

Should be

"I couldn't care less"

I got a work email where someone wanted to nip something in the "butt." I laughed at them.

I guess that depends on what kind of work one does. I take it your work didn't involve butt's at the time though.

It did occasionally! Lol. But not in this context. Plus the guy was a condescending asshole. I loved mocking him for it.

I heard a girl say "butt naked" and laughed my ass off. Isn't it s'posed to be buck naked?

Not exactly to this thread, but it drives me crazy when people talk about a "fiscal year" being a "physical year." (You mean, like, turn your head and cough?!?)

Good one, and I imagine there's readers who could have lots of fun with that hack-job.

I think both are accepted (shrugs) or at least get the same basic point across - they're naked!

Yes, that's a definite mix up. I thought "well, there is a physical year" but quickly realized that's a "calender year" instead.
