With this idea one would appear to be less of a fool upon uttering or typing a thought. This online sayings generator would split and combine existing, mundane sayings into new, improved variants. The sayings' familiarity and their puzzling meanings would make the user appear original, intellectual and
exotic.
Some samples:
A penny saved is better than two in the bush.
A fool and his money make the world go around.
Early to bed and early to rise makes a woman scorned.

Old jokes. Mixed axiom humo(u)r has been around for ages. |

Oh well... a day late and try, try again. |

Spoonerismas and mixed metaphors are baked. |
|

...eh... i was clearly illustrating a spoonerism by using one... |

(Thank goodness i got away with that one, phew.) |

On the twelfth day of Christmas
my true love sent to me:
Twelve drummers drumming,
Eleven peppers peeping,
Len tords a leaping,
Nine dadies lancing,
Mate aids a milking,
Swiven swans a semming,
Six lease a gaying,
Five golden rings,
Four bawling Kurds,
Three French Le Pens,
Two durtle toves
And a Tartridge in a pear pee. |

Not true Spoonerisms, I know. Give me a little time and I'll oblige. I'm actually doing some work for a change, at the moment. |

I liked the bit in the movie 'Ghostbusters' where Ray says, "hey you guys, listen!.... can you smell that?". |
|
| |
does anyone have any examples that would make the writer appear original, intellectual and exotic?? |
|
| |
Listen! This smells like the popular 'Use Bizarre Metaphors' thread by [globaltorniquet]. His annotation of the scented banana length resembles [UnaBubba]'s Metaphors anno "That's nearly as long as a banana that smells about this colour (May 4 2001)" |
|
| |
However, I do understand the finer differences in this idea, as it makes a point of taking regular phrases and rearranging them, whereas Metaphors was more of a free-for-all. Should I be mistaken, I'll publicly word my swallows. We love you, Farmer Namesake! |

Ahh, too many cooks saves nine. |
