It has been some time since I discussed the shining jewel of language after which I have named this here collection of ramblings.
The Mixed Metaphor is a moment in time when a mistake is made. A malapropism. A tumbling together of at least two juicy, fatted cliches, into a phrase (or indeed paragraph, or more even!) that is so chunky you could carve it.
Today's example made me laugh perhaps with a touch too much gusto...
"in the situation where there is a brown snake, it's every man for his dog"
