The catchphrase game

[Akar]

Waiting in the wings?

[Muizer]

No. Would not have picked an image of Biden on campaign if I just wanted to depict 'waiting' or 'standing', would I?

[Akar]

Left wing!

[Muizer]

No Expression could would work just as well with a right wing .... except in the case of this election, Trump is already president, so that would be confusing.

[Akar]

Reeeeeeee

[Muizer]

Reeeeeeee

No.

So, you got "a person running for office" and "2 wings". Next hint will be me giving the answer I suppose.

[Sar1n]

Are we guessing a catchphrase or just two random words? Because The only ideas I get are "creepy wings" or "senile wings".

[Muizer]

Hehe no, though I gues some might say the expression as a whole could be applied to Biden.

[Muizer]

Ok, well I suppose no-one's going to guess it, so prepare to be embarrassed when I tell you the solution:

(to be) a candidate for a pair of wings.

[makanyane]

I'd got the words 'candidate' and 'wings' - just failed completely to recognise the saying

...looking forward to your next one!

[Akar]

Ugh, I had looked that up but thought "no way that's a real expression" .

[Vladyvid]

I woudnt say that was a catchphrase, but an idiom.

[Akar]

I think we all know who the real idiom is.

[Muizer]

I woudnt say that was a catchphrase, but an idiom.

True. The thread would more aptly called the "idiom game", as that's what it has actually been from the very start. In any case, in the OP a catchphrase has been defined as "any reasonably recognisable phrase" (and then continues to illustrate with various idioms ).

Anyway, here's another one

[Sir Adrian]

The fortress at the crossroads of life

[Muizer]

Hmm that chess piece isn't called "fortress"

[Aexodus]

We kind dropped this... any clues or just go for a different word?

[Muizer]

Alright, try this

[makanyane]

To infinity and beyond?

[Muizer]

nope, there's an infinity symbol but it does not literally stand for the word 'infinity'
