Like, "I just put 2 and 2 together" instead becomes "I just put 3 and 7 together" or insert relevant numbers to come to a total of numbers actually being discussed.

"Selling like hotcakes" = "Selling like prescription opioids"

"Avoid like the plague" = "Avoid like a Trump rally"

"Let your hair down" = "Let your ass hang out"

Is it too confusing?

Does the pope shit in the woods?

"Do the Chicago Bears lose to the Packers?" Bears, Pope. Yea it was a stretch.
