Cream of the cake
Posted: August 24, 2012 Filed under: FOOD | Tags: blended idioms, cake, cream, expressions, icing, malaphors, mixed idioms, words Leave a commentThis mash-up involves the phrase “icing on the cake” (something extra on a successful endeavor) and “cream of the crop” (finest or best). The speaker not only thought his object was great but somehow a cut above the best? Since that describes this website, I have included it in the tagline. 🙂
