ruddism 

Any analogy, metaphor, etc where the person speaking/writing is attempting to use a common phrase but messes it up by either mixing multiple common phrases, or simply replaces key words in the phrase with incorrect words. The most important aspect of a ruddism is that they are not done on purpose. The person must think they said it correctly.

Examples of a ruddism:

"A bird in a hand is better than two bushes."
"You have enough to do. I don't mean to throw more worms on the fire."
"She was green with ivy."
"You can't teach a dog old tricks."
"That's just my cross to burn."
"You can lead a gift horse to water, but you can't look it in the mouth."
"Six of one. Half of the other."
