This is a new word for me.

It means when metaphors are mixed up.

For exams example, it's not rocket surgery

Have you ever do this? Or heard one?

Let's hear your best ones.

But i won't count my chickens until they've frozen over 😂

I never heard the word (which I guess is a portmanteau if Malapropism and metaphire) but I have been "does the pope shit in the woods?!" Forever. And when I worked with Rocket Scientists I'd often "it's hardly brain surgery" them.
