The fence is always greener on the other side
Posted: February 11, 2015 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: expressions, humor, language, malaphor, malaphors, mixed idioms, on the fence, the grass is always greener on the other side, words 3 CommentsThe speaker was talking about clubs with problems that look at other clubs and assume everything is going smoothly. This is a mash up of “the grass is always greener on the other side” (other people seem to be in a better situation than you, although that might not be the case) and maybe “on the fence” (undecided). A shout out to Daniel Mustard for sending this one in! Daniel needs to ketch up and send in more malaphors.

Love this one. It’s brilliant. The fence usually is unkempt and mossy on the other side, so this malaphor also says the opposite of the intended message.
