Find it interesting that, besides mis-remembering or understanding a cliche, many people attempt to....'improve' upon an idiom in the interest of emphasising their point more. Oft-times, all these mis-guided souls achieve is a butchering of the phrase and message they intend to convey.
@ NatCh: You so totally should, like, not EVAR get eternal lying, dreaming squid started on the myriad difficulties visited upon the English language by the sordid, despicable creation of contractions.
Why do so many people wish to know where my 'cat' is? Do they believe that I travel everywhere with it, so that to know its location is to know my own?
Verily, do not get it.
