Please state in which country your phrase tends to be used, what the phrase is, and what it should be.

Example:

In America, recently came across “back-petal”, instead of back-pedal. Also, still hearing “for all intensive purposes” instead of “for all intents and purposes”.

    “Touch base”

    No, you cannot touch base with me; I’m not into that. Go touch your own base, base toucher.

    The idiom relies on a person being familiar with baseball, but even then it makes very little contextual sense.
