<p>Got our wires crossed I think[???]. Yes it's wrong, it was an example of one of the hundreds of malapropisms I've heard muttered by sportsmen and commentators. Arrow in his quiver, string to his bow.</p>

<p>It was definitely "chink in the armour" - which is what I was saying by ballsing it up on so many levels. Chink in the armour is a bad thing, which is the EXACT OPPOSITE of what I think he meant. That's what made it speeeeeecial.</p>
<p>Nearly all malapropisms are a mix of sayings with similar meanings. eg. Ben Allan's "another arrow in his bow."</p>
<p>I guess the rung reference was something about climbing a ladder. Duh.<br />

but I can't think of any appropriate sayings that includes rungs, ladders, etc. But it's well worth including in a conversation to see if anyone queries it.<br />
Armour chinks in pointless sayings are probably not as racist as greasy poles.</p>Big Ramifications commented on 'BARE-FACED LIVE'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef014e875ebd4d970d2011-04-10T05:03:46Z2011-04-10T05:03:46ZBig RamificationsJesus I've got a terrible memory.

<p>Hey while I've got you, I heard possibly the greatest malapropism ever yesterday. Liam Pickering, Dockers vee Geelong.</p>
<p>"another chink on the rung"</p>
<p>I have climbed the mountain, and I have SEEN the promised land!</p>
<p>In the context of his sentence, I *think* he was trying to say "another feather in his cap" or "another notch on his bed head" etc. But he's ballsed it up on about three levels. Bonus points for accidental racism.</p>Big Ramifications commented on 'BARE-FACED LIVE'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef0147e3de2534970b2011-04-10T04:06:43Z2011-04-10T04:06:43ZBig RamificationsAwesome talking point, Big Tones. ;) Eddie says [yes, I brought myself to read the article] the 10 minutes is...<p>Awesome talking point, Big Tones. ;)</p>
<p>Eddie says [yes, I brought myself to read the article] the 10 minutes is the difference between kids being yelled at on the train by "dickheads" and a peaceful journey. Bullshit of the highest order, even by Eddie standards.</p>

<p>Rex looks like he's lost a lot of weight. I'm implying something there.</p>

Presumably Seven would not want to go live against the NRL, which would be gruesome for Seven, but if they did, would please the handful of people up that way who are not obsessed with what Sterlo calls "footy".</p>
<p>Seven might be granted latitude there, though, since they get massacred and since Foxtel carry the AFL live on Main Event.</p>Jim commented on 'BARE-FACED LIVE'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef014e6069a8f0970c2011-04-06T04:55:29Z2011-04-06T04:55:29ZJimIn Brisbane the Friday night game starts at 11:30pm, after Better Homes & Gardens, a movie (usually a throwaway, since...<p>In Brisbane the Friday night game starts at 11:30pm, after Better Homes & Gardens, a movie (usually a throwaway, since its up against live league), and a half-hour filler reality show.
