That blew my mind away

In a conversation, the contributor told a friend a crazy piece of trivia he had never heard before, and he was shocked. This is a congruent conflation of “blew my mind” and “blew me away”, both meaning to surprise someone thoroughly. This one reminds me of a previous malaphor I posted, “it blew our socks off”. https://malaphors.com/2015/07/30/it-blew-our-socks-off/ Some may remember the tagline to a Burger King seven inch burger, “It will blow your mind away”. Apparently some thought it racy and the model who appears in the poster apparently called for a boycott. https://www.foxnews.com/food-drink/model-calls-for-a-burger-king-boycott-after-she-was-featured-in-a-sexually-suggestive-ad

A thank you to regular malaphor contributor Verbatim for sending this one in!
