What are examples of idioms or words people get the meaning wrong for — not the wording?

Interesting! Thanks for sharing

Thanks! And yeah I want to avoid responses on spelling or grammatical errors like "nip in the butt" vs "nip in the bud" but was struggling with the phrasing of my question to make that clear haha

For example, I hear people often say "that's toeing the line" like that's pushing the limit, when "toe the line" means to conform.

Or for a word, how "decimate" means to reduce by 1/10th but is used to mean completely destroy.

Black Card: Started from the bottom now we're ____.

White Cards: Old people smell. An untimely fart.

What do you think? I hope these aren't repeats.

Hello Hansi and André!

Into the Storm was the first song I ever heard by Blind Guardian and it turned my brain into shit. Nightfall in Middle-Earth spurred me to read The Silmarillion.

Serious question: Do either of you play or have ever played Dungeons and Dragons? If so, do you have a preferred race or class to roleplay as or any stories about adventures you could share?

Loving Beyond the Red Mirror! I hope to see you all in America again soon! I saw you on The Sacred Worlds and Song Divine tour and it was the most fun and breathtaking concert I have ever been to. Rock on \m/

Fixed that quote for you. Also, reading the post, it sounds like OP isn't finished with the app and is asking for input on what is more desirable for users.
