Where I worked last the dress code was super relaxed, unless a bigwig or customer was expected. Made a co-worker laugh once by describing us as "Dressed to the ones".

Sometimes such mistakes are genuinely intriguing revelations. For example, in TFA:

"Read between the tea leaves.”

"We'll burn that bridge when we come to it"

- one of my favorites

I also know this joy. I also get a little internal delight intentionally mixing up “classic adages”. I have yet to encounter anyone who has caught it - most of the time it appears to just be perceived as weird. (e.g. people who live in glass houses sink ships)
