Mixed Metaphors
I wrote about one of these before, so here’s another one:
“[the telecom industry] is moving to IP backbones, and AT&T and BT want to make sure they’re not dragging up the rear.” – Internet World, Aug 1998
What do we have here? ‘Bringing up the rear’ and ‘dragging their rears’. Funny.
