Is there a word for mangled idiom that becomes commonplace

  • That's my favorite one to use

    • EVs are cleaner than gas cars, but a growing share of Americans don't believe it

    • Does anyone actually use the windows key on their keyboard as intended by the OS?

    Jump

  • I have 3 main use cases for the Windows key:

    1. Bring up the start menu and immediately type "cmd" + Enter to bring up a command prompt
    2. Windows + L to lock the computer when I step away
    3. Windows + arrow keys to move windows around on the screen and "dock" them to the sides of the screen (although this hasn't been consistently working for me more recently)

    I don't think I ever use it for anything else. So yes, I do use it to bring up the start menu, but generally only to specifically bring up a command prompt window - all of my other commonly used programs are pinned to the taskbar so I can fire them up with a single click.

    • JD Vance says GOP should threaten a shutdown: 'Why have a government if it’s not a functioning government?'

    Jump

  • It's been their #1 play for decades

    • Republicans point finger at Laura Loomer for Trump’s pet-eating rant

    Jump

  • Maybe they should actually - hear me out here - blame, I dunno, Donald Trump for what comes out of Donald Trump's mouth? Rather than whatever idiot planted the most recent brain-dead conspiracy theory into his head? There will always be more idiots with brain-dead conspiracy theories, so maybe, just maybe, your candidate for President of the United States shouldn't be a complete moron who falls for every single one of them?
