Boy do I know how to really screw up some classic phrases, "Cog in the wheel" indeed. I even have a habit to using the pseudo-phrase "Up a tree without a paddle" which I assure you is a bastardization of two very common and oft used phrases. I'm sure people who have heard me speak a lot (i.e. everyone) know of more examples. I do so love bandying about my skill in English that once in a while it's humbling to beaten about the head with the stick of error.
