    A squib is a miniature explosive device used in a wide range of industries, from special effects to military applications. It resembles a tiny stick of dynamite, both in appearance and construction, although with considerably less explosive power. Squibs consists of two electrical leads which are separated by a plug of insulating material, a small bridge wire or electrical resistance heater, and a bead of heat-sensitive chemical composition in which the bridge wire is embedded.[1] Squibs can be used for generating mechanical force, or to provide pyrotechnic effects for both film and live theatrics. Squibs can be used for shattering or propelling a variety of materials

    The top ten misquotes by British people are as follows:

    1) A damp squid (a damp squib)

    2) On tender hooks (on tenter hooks)

    3) Nip it in the butt (nip it in the bud)

    4) Champing at the bit (chomping at the bit)

    5) A mute point (a moot point)

    6) One foul swoop (one fell swoop)

    7) All that glitters is not gold (all that glisters is not gold)

    8) Adverse to (averse to)

    9) Batting down the hatches (batten down the hatches)

    10) Find a penny pick it up (find a pin pick it up)

    Well then, it turns out I've always had 7 and 10 wrong.

    No 4, I do say "champing" but thought it was just the Scottish slang for the phrase.

    When these misquotes hang around for long enough, they eventually get accepted as standard usage. Apparently 'toothcomb' is now in the OED although the correct phrase is 'a fine-tooth comb'.

    This is true. Language grows, changes, and evolves. Although I've never heard 'toothcomb' rather than fine-tooth comb.
