Examples of confusing idioms which are applicable to the confusions of words
A wife said to her husband, "You're skating on thin eggshells, mister."
He replied by saying, "Uh, it's either 'skating on thin ice' or 'walking on eggshells.' "
She warned, "You probably shouldn't have corrected me. Now, you've really opened up a can of hot water."
The end result: "You buttered your bread, now lie in it."
