The Great Irreversible Binomial Idiom Quiz
What’s an irreversible binomial idiom? It’s an idiom that has two parts that sound wrong when switched around. Did British soldiers give all for country and king? Of course not! For king and country! Identify whether the following idioms are correct, backwards, or fake!
Fake idioms are ones I made up—verified fake with Google nGrams.
The “Correct” idiom is the traditionally more commonly used order.

You fooled me with (From) Missing to Kissing. Well played :)
I noticed that Nice or Naughty appears twice. Also is "a hop and a skip" not correct? It's marked as fake.
