That really burns my goat!
Posted: August 13, 2012 Filed under: ACTION, ANIMALS | Tags: blended idioms, burn, expressions, goat, malaphors, mixed idioms, words Leave a commentIt appears this is a mash up of “gets my goat’ (annoys me) and “burns me up” (makes me mad). Both idioms have similar meanings and are both three sentences long. I can guarantee that no animals were hurt or killed in the course of using this malaphor.
