Thanks for the support mate.Similarly, one foul swoop ticks me off. Makes sense weirdly because bird and swoop go together, but otherwise makes no sense at all.
Buggering up common expressions is something ex footy player commentators do a fair bit. “Plenty of other fish out there” I heard said once. And “Go with the punches”, “Straight out of the box”, “calm as a cucumber”, “aiming a long bow” etc
That said, I used to think the saying was “have your cake and eat it” until my lady pointed out it needs “too” at the end otherwise you’re just eating a piece of cake in a perfectly normal way.
I also struggle with people writing "should of" when it is actually "should have".
