Nonsensical phraseology

Have you ever swallowed a lie hook, line and zinger? Do you consider this to be a doggy-dog world? Am I correct in my assumptions for all intensive purposes? Then you are an utter idiot and should be forced to obtain a language permit after passing scrupulous tests and an excruciatingly painful examination by a large man named Sven.

Nobody is perfect and I admit that my grasp on the English language does lapse on occasion, but I cannot and will not abide the use of well-worn phrases when they are incorrectly stated. Whenever I encounter an instance of "and walla!" or "Nip it in the butt" it makes me wonder whether the person who typed them understand what it is that they are trying to articulate. It also makes me wonder where to bury the bodies.
