    My go-to staying is “we’ll burn that bridge when we get to it”

      Me too! Most people don’t get it, which is unfortunate. I’m glad to know there are others out there.

        No, it’s a portmanteau of “Don’t burn your bridges” (because you might need to retreat over them) and “Cross that bridge when we come to it” (worry about it later)

          It’s a malaphor :D not a portmanteau!

          I love malaphors so much and they make me smile

    But hark! Another track appears beside the river. Surely this will be the easier route? Surely this will not lead to yet another bridge, larger and more difficult to cross than the last? Yes, indeed, I shall take this alternative track, that I might find myself easier bridges to cross.

      I’ll build a bridge over troubled water when I get to it.
