Out of your element 

Contrary to popular belief, the idiom "out of one's element" expresses one's or another person's discomfort when feeling out of place and NOT the other way around. Ironically, someone who says "out of their element" in the latter sense is, according to him, out of HIS element (he is intending to call someone out when in reality he is exposing the fact he doesn't know how to use that phrase properly).
"Your out of your element, dog!"

More from Urban Dictionary
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
