Idioms & Phrases

like clockwork

Also, regular as clockwork. With extreme regularity, as in Ruth arrives every Wednesday morning just like clockwork, or You can count on his schedule, which is regular as clockwork, or Their assembly line runs like clockwork. This idiom alludes to the mechanical and therefore very regular action of a clock. [Second half of 1600s]

>his neck hurts, he must have slept on it wrong

I can't work out if that's ungrammatical or not. Surely the word "wrong" is adverb describing the past tense verb "slept" so it should be

That's one of those situations where common usage is incorrect because doing it the right way (i.e., "wrongly") sounds stupid. In this case you'd be better off replacing it with something else entirely, like "incorrectly" or "the wrong way".
