What?
W-H-A-T IN THE WORLD???? OTHER MAP=MIXED METAPHOR? Please explain. I'm slow.
AHA! I get it now. "Mixed Metaphor" is achieved here because he took the word "METAPHOR" and "Mixed" or scrambled, the words into an Anagram. I'm not slow. You are just too fast! This was a BRILLIANT EXECUTION. A Rebus with an Anagram....and a new vocabulary word (Mixed Metaphor). I can't beat that. GO GIZZER!!!!!

Why is it that difficult equates to not fun so often? I enjoy the more challenging ones. This wasn't all that difficult (though I didn't get it before looking at the answer).
That was a hard one
I figured it to be an anagram
that took me a while to understand! It was a good one!
I don't have mixed feelings in saying, great rebus!
'Mixed Metaphor' I get - what's this about derailing singers?
Excellent, Thanks for posting.
