The creation of an idiom
come up with your own, how it came into being and what it means or take an existing one and come up with your own version as to how it came to be used in common language.
example:a man was climbing a mountain commonly reffered to as The Creek. he soon realised he was out of his depth and plunged to his death. Thamserku Paddle was the father of a local family of sherpars and he had strongly advised the man to take a member of of his family up with him to help. this gave rise to the idiom 'up the creek without a paddle'
and so on....

Many years ago, there was a very successful but unmarried dentist who had such a busy practice that he often would refer extra patients to other reputable dentists in the area. Despite his great wealth, he happened to have an irrational fear of gold. His peers in the dental community were so pleased about his referrals, that they decided to reward him by sending over twin prostitutes to "thank him in person". He was pleasantly surprised at this, and had nearly completed enjoying their company when he noticed that both of the working girls were each sporting several shiny gold crowns, causing him to flee from them in horror. So, the moral of this story is:
[wait for it]
don't look gift whores in the mouth.

Mad Hatter (Jervis Tetch) is a supervillain appearing in Gotham, commonly as an adversary of the vigilante Batman. He models himself after the Hatter from Lewis Carroll's novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, a character often called the "Mad Hatter" in adaptations of Carroll.
Mad Hatter is depicted as a scientist who invents and uses technological mind-controlling devices to influence and manipulate the minds of his victims. He is one of Batman's most enduring enemies and belongs to the collective of adversaries that make up Batman's rogues gallery.
