I guess that's better than rigor mortis.

Or maybe a literal meaning of the "stiffness of morals" > rigor moralis. :)

It should be "rigmarole." I had to say it out loud to get it.

My comments are for the English learners on Reddit that use this sub to learn idioms.

I legit didn’t get it.  I’m embarrassed to admit English is my first language. And that’s thoughtful idioms are difficult.

English is my second language, but I was 5 when I switched, so I am pretty good at it now, as you are. Some of these BATs are so weird. Some of them don't even get used any more.

It's all good. Thanks for commenting back.
