Your put downs would be a whole lot more effective if you had any clue in the foggiest regarding what you were talking about instead of merrily bumping about in Walter Mitty land.
I usually see the idiom as "I don't have the foggiest clue " but since you are the "King of the Idioms" I guess you're usage of the second person is a correct usage!?
But still it not sound so good. It should've read as such:
"...if you had the foggiest clue regarding..." or maybe "...the slightest clue regarding..."
the way it was writen was as if it was the epitome of a "foggy regarding?"

EDIT NB I'm still on your side, fight on ol' chap against these unwarranted newbies!
