Guys, words are hard.

Which means saying common phrases and idioms correctly can be a bit tricky.

I mean, have you ever said "nip it in the butt" instead of "nip it in the bud"?

Or how about "for all intensive purposes" instead of "for all intents and purposes"?

Or maybe "I could care less" instead of "I couldn't care less"?

Basically, we want to know which phrases, sayings, or idioms you realized you were saying the wrong way. Let us know in the Dropbox below and, as always, your response could be featured in a BuzzFeed Community post or video!
