I wanted to mix things up for today’s Weird Bird Wednesday. So I created a few mixaphors for my bird using scissors to creatively carve its shape.
As this bird evolved, one discovered that…
Clothes Lips don’t make the bird…
And a horse bird of a different color…
May be the cat’s bird’s pajamas after all!
Never judge a book bird by its cover (up).
Cheers! 🙂

What is a mixaphor? No, it isn’t an adult beverage…
It is mixing a metaphor which is a figure of speech that leaps from one identification to a second one and is inconsistent from the first one. Sound confusing? Well, it can be and that is the goal with a Mixaphor to create confusion instead of a fusion of effects.
Here is my example of a mixaphor:
I encourage you to mix up your metaphors today! If anything it will give you a chuckle or two!
Some days it’s fun to be a horse of a different color dancing to his own drummer…
Cheers! 🙂
