Some howlers:-
‘Damp squid’ is sometimes misquoted as ‘damp squib’.
‘He got off scotch free’ is 'He got off scot free’.
It’s not hanging on ‘tender hooks’, it’s hanging on ‘tenterhooks’.

Re: Got it wrong
It IS damp 'squib'... a squib is a firework and if damp will not go off,
A let down, not as expected, a failure.
Try typing damp SQUID into Google and see what you get.

You are quite correct Mr Cad.
I meant to type "people say damp squid instead of damp squib",but I got it mixed up.
