Hold Your Hippogriffs: A (more often than not) cringeworthy version of a saying (though can be invented on the spot), that is prone to cause Fatal Death in most readers.
But it sounds fun, who wouldn't want to say "You have as much chance as Flower Hill against the exterminators.", or closer to the trope "I'd rather watch an Orion-drive takeoff from bellow than to go there".
You get the point.
So, how can I make in-universe sayings/curses/ whatever, without popping a reader's head?
