it's up to you. i seem to recall that the supposed double entendre in the lyric and song title was only ever speculative and was disavowed by the songwriters. yet it persists in the zeitgeist

as I recall, Mr. Wilde also denied the allegations against him...
also, any aesthetic tweaking is fine by me, ry.  I have come to accept, through lengthy long-sufferingness, that not everyone is addicted to hyphens

oyez vendingmachine, I took off a few of your additions bc this list is actually supposed to be phrases that included the word “the.” But of the ones I took off, most are now installed on phraseologue and phraseologue---confabular-locutions, so your efforts are far from in vain!

But, I can't take off phrases that have apostrophes. if you see this can you take off beat one's brains out, blow one's top, break someone's heart, catch one's eye, and any others like that?

not sure what to make of anasmkaa’s suggestion...

ry: I zapped nine entries or so. Let me know if I missed any pesky ones hiding in plain sight.

Thanks for letting me know. I understand, from my own experiences here, that it's a little displeasing when a list becomes tainted with well-meaning entries.
