Jacobism

1. the combining of two idioms, which has the effect of confusing the audience, rather than clarifying the intention.
2. the incorrect application of a single idiom, which leaves the audience mystified.
Examples of a Jacobism are:
1. We'll "pull it out of the ball park". "Do you mean, 'Pull if out of the bag' or 'Hit it out of the ball-park'?"
2. We're "barking up the wrong track". "So are we 'on the wrong track' and 'barking up the wrong tree'?"
3. We'll need "a three eyes check". "You mean a four eyes check?"
4. We need to "get our ducks on a plane". "So we need to get our ducks in a row? Why do they need to be on a plane?"

Jacob

Kids named Jacob typically are the ones who scream in the back of the school bus. They constantly smell like stale chips and they have greasy hair. He probably asks the kid wearing a black hoodie "are you goth 🤓"
"Yo, did you hear? Jacob got suspended for licking a teacher"
"Hope he doesn't come back lmao"
