I wouldn’t do that in a pink fit of Sundays

Posted: December 9, 2017 | Author: | Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: , , , , , , , , , |1 Comment

This was uttered by the submitter’s mum on many occasions.  It is a mashup of “in a pink fit” (a tantrum or in anger) and “in a month of Sundays (under no circumstances).  The mix up seems to be caused by that pesky preposition “in”.

I researched the phrase “in a pink fit” as I had never heard of it and it seems to be an Australian idiom.  Any UK folks out there heard of it?   A big thanks to Abigail for sending this one in.

Did you enjoy this Australian malaphor?  Get the malaphor book “He Smokes Like a Fish and other Malaphors” from down under today!  Check out Amazon at  https://www.amazon.com/dp/0692652205
