You can do better than that. Try “Your mother rides a vacuum cleaner!”

Normally it’s combat boots; and it’s a way of saying someone’s mom is a prostitute because back during World War 1, there were prostitutes that would follow military personnel around; and they wore combat boots.

Witch Hunts in the Dark Ages? HERESY

Wait! Don’t you first have to make sure they weigh the same as a duck?

“The trouble with witches is that they’ll never run away from things they really hate.

And the trouble with small furry animals in a corner is that, just occasionally, one of them’s a mongoose.”― Terry Pratchett, Witches Abroad

Turn ’em into frogs!! Feel the burn.

Doesn’t seem like exactly what the Fink had in mind.

Hey now, I wore Army boots. OK, technically Air Force boots, but yeah, ya know…

The king’s bored? Funny, he doesn’t look like a piece of wood…

Fink has a long way to go to do a good burn

Sorry, that’s a new newfangled witch ‘burning’. Lame, too. Those frog burners can eat you alive.

What happened to throwing water on witches?

“Fire’s out, let’s go…”

Or the ultimate flame: Your mother goes to college! (Anyone?)

Not exactly old fashioned.

Burning witches is passe!

The King and Rodney are playing with fire. Those witches will cast a spells to make the King shorter and make Rodney’s nose bigger.

Your Mama was a Hufflepuff!
