12. That one is pretty easy to mangle, but the one that bothered me most...
....was this woman at my last job who kept saying "Prove it to the pudding!"

And she always did that in the middle of meetings which left me somewhere between screaming in pure agony at the mangled expression or collapsing into fits of giggling.

17. I think she was going for the "the proof is in the pudding" which more...
Edited on Mon Jul-24-06 08:56 PM by Liberal Veteran
...correctly is "the proof of the pudding is in the eating".
