Daffy Duck one said, "You buttered your bread, now sleep in it." And 10 year old me couldn't stop laughing.
This makes me so happy, thanks for teaching me a word
i'n not the brightest bulb in the shed, but i sure am the sharpest!
I had a boss who said:
"You can lead a horse to water, but you can't suck his ass to make him drink."
I... I just... Can't.
Okay, you win the internet for the day. 👍
I used to say "we'll burn that bridge when we get to it." all the time! People didn't like it though.
Malaphors? I call these Rickyisms.
It's all water under the fridge.
Exactly. Making these things up ain't rocket appliances.
And there’s so many out there already you can use the existing ones and teach others; get two birds stoned at once
Rickyisms are modern day malapropisms, named for Mrs Malaprop from the 1775 play The Rivals by Sheridan, rather than malaphors.
The difference being a malaphor is a mixed up idiom like the examples in the post and a malapropism is substituting a word in a common saying or idiom for a similar sounding one. For example, "finding an escape goat" or "I resemble that remark".

I've made my omelette, now I've got to sleep in it. If you lead a horse to water, you can make it fish.

Those who dig others a grave shouldn't throw rocks.
You can get a good look at a t-bone by sticking your head up a butchers ass, but I'd rather take the bulls word for it.
You're barking up the wrong metaphor
