It’s time to take the bull by the tail
Posted: March 5, 2013 Filed under: bull, horns, tail | Tags: blended idioms, bull by the horns, expressions, humor, language, malaphors, mixed idioms, tiger by the tail, words 2 Comments »This visual mash-up mixes “take the bull by the horns” (confront an issue openly) with probably “has the world by the tail” or “has a tiger by the tail”. Heads and tails are part of the confusion, and I don’t think either end is preferable. Thanks to Joseph Newcomer for sending this one to me!
