The lights are on, but there is no-one at the wheel

 A Malaphor is the blending of idioms or clichés into something silly and possibly absurd.

  • Airbrushed under the carpet
  • We'll burn that bridge when we get to it
  • It's not rocket surgery
  • Until the cows freeze over
  • There's more than one way to swing a cat in here
  • The road to hell wasn't paved in a day
  • A bird in the hand gets the worm
  • A golden opportunity on a silver platter
  • Does the Pope shit in the woods
  • I wouldn't trust her with a ten foot pole
  • Give them an inch, they'll take the cake
  • Let them eat the rich
  • Snug as a bug swept under the rug
  • You can't teach sleeping dogs new tricks
  • Beauty is in the eye of the tiger
