That's a really tough nut to swallow
- Lmao
  You won.
Daffy Duck one said, "You buttered your bread, now sleep in it." And 10 year old me couldn't stop laughing.
You can't crack an omelet without making eggs.
Make like a tree, and get the fuck out
- Make like a banana and leave.
- People in glass houses sink ships
- 😂 best one so far
  
  Check out Boondock Saints, from which this is a quote. Hilarious movies
Does the pope shit in the woods?
A bird in the hand is worth its weight in gold.
Icarus flew too close to the man in the moon.
Find a penny, pick it up. Would you like some making fuck?
You're barking up the wrong metaphor
You can't have your cake.
Ricky-isms. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3dYMQgopIY

My favorite one in French that I use all the time: c'est l'hôpital qui se fout de la charrue avant les bœufs
I had a boss who said:
"You can lead a horse to water, but you can't suck his ass to make him drink."
I... I just... Can't.
- WONT SOMEBODY PLEASE, COME OVERE HERE AND...
  
  Fuck
Does the pope shit in the woods?
- Are bears Catholic?
I've made my omelette, now I've got to sleep in it. If you lead a horse to water, you can make it fish.
- I'd rather "if you lead a horse to water, teach it to fish"
  
  We could workshop it, but if you're bad at something, never do it for free
Malaphors? I call these Rickyisms.
- Worse case Ontario I get to tell you I toad a so, I fuckin a toad a so.
- A toad a sow.
- It's all water under the fridge.
  
  Exactly. Making these things up ain't rocket appliances.
- Rickyisms are modern day malapropisms, named for Mrs Malaprop from the 1775 play The Rivals by Sheridan, rather than malaphors.
  The difference being a malaphor is a mixed up idiom like the examples in the post and a malapropism is substituting a word in a common saying or idiom for a similar sounding one. For example, "finding an escape goat" or "I resemble that remark".
  
  "Why don't you make like tree and fuck off, Lahey!" -Ricky
  (I know the difference, I was just attempting to be silly with it all.)
Those that live in glass houses can throw the first stone.
- Don't throw glasses in a stone house.
This looks like ai slop
