Meta-crimp

This is an invitation to join me in the world’s first ‘Meta-crimp’. I’ll make a suggestion for the first half of a mixed metaphor & I’d welcome suggestions for the second half. OK, so it’s not crimping in the Booshest sense of the word, but it’s the best description I could come up with. Anyway, here’s the first bit:

You can take a horse to water…

Any takers?

Hell or high tea

“I’ll get that tender in on time, come hell or high tea”

“I’ll get that tender in on time, come hell or high tea”

Origin: come hell or high water + high tea
