Living in a fantasy tale
Posted: May 10, 2025 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: Dave Portnoy, expressions, humor, language, malaphors, Meghan Markle, Megyn Kelly, mixed idioms, words Leave a commentOn the podcast The Megyn Kelly Show, Dave Portnoy, president and founder of Barstool Sports, was being interviewed by Kelly. They were talking about Meghan Markle’s perceived entitlement and portraying herself as a victim. Portnoy said that Markle didn’t need to work or complain as she is “living in a fantasy tale.” You can hear this one at the 1:34:00 minute mark (May 1, 2025 show). This is a congruent conflation of “a fairy tale” and “fantasy land”, both referring to imaginary places of utter perfection and happiness. A big thanks to Verbatim for hearing this one and sending it in.
