heard on Joey Reynolds

[Laurence Urdang]

Here are two of what I call fractured idioms from the Joey Reynolds Show, WOR710: [I know: they aren't really idioms, per se]
  1.  "You two are like Twiddly Dee and Twiddly Dum."  0335 26 July 2007
  2.  "I've had that up the kazoo."  0445 9 July 2007
  The second, for wazoo, which is dated from 1961 by the OED, has been used before.  It is hard to know what Reynolds thinks is meant when somebody is described as a virtuoso on the kazoo.
