My mum accidentally made me (and herself) ache with laughter this evening.
We were chatting, and she meant to say 'flogging a dead horse'.
Instead, she blurted out 'thrashing a dead dog'.
Several seconds of silence.
ME: 'Where the fuck did that come from?'
MUM: 'I don't know'.
Cue prolonged aches of laughter.
(She's a superb painter, not known for words, but this was a good 'un)
