We really knocked it over the top this year!

A speaker at a company conference was praising the company’s performance for the year.  This is a nice mash up of “knock it out of the park” (do something successfully or an outstanding achievement) and “over the top” (having gained more than one’s goal).   The phrase “knock it out of the park” seems to be a frequent source of malaphors.  I have previously posted such gems as “we really nailed it out of the park” https://malaphors.com/2015/08/18/we-really-nailed-it-out-of-the-park/, “they blew it out of the park” https://malaphors.com/2012/10/27/they-blew-it-out-of-the-park/, and “I need to knock it out of the box” https://malaphors.com/2014/07/21/i-need-to-knock-it-out-of-the-box/.   A big thanks to Rachel for hearing this one and passing it on!
