More grease to your elbow would be considered wrong if metaphors are not in existence. At the elbow is a joint. Granted it doesn't contain grease but grease is a lubricant and elbows need lubricants (synovial fluid) to make it's function easier. So wishing one an easier life isn't wrong. 78 Likes 3 Shares |

Many words classified as wrong here are just usage dependent. Else, how can 'horn' be wrong and 'honk' right when 'honking' is American English? 10 Likes 2 Shares |
