We all have our quirks, right? Do we like to admit to them? Well, maybe not. Nevertheless, I figured I would share one of my quirks with you. I have a hard time with those old stand by phrases. I tend to say things back asswards. The actual name for these old stand by phrases (backwards of course) is malaprops. Over the years, MY family and friends have renamed malaprops to VALAPROPS! Below are some of their favorites:
We’ll burn that bridge before we cross it.
We’ll kill that bird with two stones.
Let’s expect the best and hope for the worst.
Listen like a hawk.
The camel that broke the straw's back.
He (or she) is a nutbag.
He (or she) is not the brightest bulb in the sky.
It’s a doggie dog world.
I’m not chopped bread.
He (or she) is deaf as a bat.
If you have a Valaprop that you would like to have added to this list,
