I prefer, due to my white trash rural roots:
“That dog won’t hunt.”
I don’t have a don’t in this don’t.
This is the true evolution

I don’t have one horse size duck or 100 duck sized horses in this race.
“I don’t have a horse in this dog”: incoherent, fanciful, drunk
I don’t have a fight in this race
“I dont have a horse in this fight” makes sense if context is Calvary charge. I dk im drunk.
And a dog in this race for greyhound racing
My two favorite malaphors:
- It’s not rocket surgery.
- We will burn that bridge when we get to it.
I use those both regularly. And people seem totally unable to tell whether I am doing it on purpose.
Malaphor, my new favorite word Also: “she looks like she’s been through the run of the mill”
“He looks like he fell out of the Ugly Tree and hit every branch on the way down.”
That’s all water under the fridge at this point.
Not sure what’s the idiom with “fridge” in it.
There isn’t one, it’s a malaphor imposter!
Wow, that does provoke strong imagery. That’s a great looking dog in a great looking race. I hope he wins.
“I don’t have a race-fight in this horse-dog” : questionable morals; supernatural or sci-fi undertones; a good change for double-takes, perhaps even the odd triple-take
Not my circus, not my monkeys.
There’s a YouTuber named Memoria Matters who has an inside joke that she’s trying to popularize the idiom “too many dogs on the dance floor”. I’m pretty sure it doesn’t have any particular meaning, however. It came up quite a few times during her Alien: Isolation let’s play, however.
Bada-bing!
Dammit, that’s too fantastic to NOT be an idiom
Sounds like the name of the next hit single from Reel Big Fish
did someone say synthesis?
