When the shit hit the storm
Posted: January 20, 2021 Filed under: Uncategorized 4 CommentsHoward Stern was commenting on the Capitol riots on his radio show and uttered this nice mashup of “shit hits the fan” (serious trouble suddenly starts) and “shit-storm” (a violent or chaotic situation). I would say this was a pretty accurate description of the event. A tip of the hat to Jack Chandler for hearing this one and sending it in!
Malaphors 
“…hit the storm” I like that one Dave
Thanks Ron! Hope you are doing well during this pandemic.
Love this blog! My late partner used to be Mr. Malaprop. He would say the damnedest things that he had misread or misheard in his life, as a result of having a learning disability and mixing up metaphors. He would say someone had waited “until the twelfth minute.” It baffled me until i finally figured out he had misheard the saying about waiting until the eleventh hour to begin a task, and somehow got “twelfth” and “minute” mixed into this mashup. There were others but this is the most memorable of all. 🙂
Thanks Joe! If you hear any malaphors, or remember some of the good ones from your late partner, please send them in so I can post and send you a shout out! Dave
