Anti-proverb

An anti-proverb or a perverb is the transformation of a standard proverb for humorous effect. Paremiologist Wolfgang Mieder defines them as "parodied, twisted, or fractured proverbs that reveal humorous or satirical speech play with traditional proverbial wisdom".〔, p. 28, Mieder, Wolfgang. 2004. ''Proverbs: A Handbook''. (Greenwood Folklore Handbooks). Greenwood Press.〕 They have also been defined as "an allusive distortion, parody, misapplication, or unexpected contextualization of a recognized proverb, usually for comic or satiric."〔p. xi, Charles Clay Doyle, Wolfgang Mieder, & Fred Shapiro. ''The Dictionary of Modern Proverbs''. New Haven: Yale University Press.〕 To have full effect, an anti-proverb must be based on a known proverb. For example, "If at first you don't succeed, quit" is only funny if the hearer knows the standard proverb "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again." Anti-proverbs are used commonly in advertising, such as "Put your burger where your mouth is" from Red Robin.〔Wolfgang Mieder and Barbara Mieder, 1977, ''Journal of Popular Culture'', 11:308-319.〕 Anti-proverbs are also common on T-shirts, such as "Taste makes waist" and "If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you".
Standard proverbs are essentially defined phrases, well-known to many people, as e. g. ''Don't bite the hand that feeds you''. When this sequence slightly changed (''Don’t bite the hand that looks dirty'') it becomes an anti-proverb.
== Classification ==

There have been various attempts at classifying different types of anti-proverbs, based on structure and semantics, including by Mieder, Litovkina,〔pp. 17-26, Litovkina, Anna Tóthné and Wolfgang Mieder. 2006. ''Old proverbs never die, they just diversify: a collection of anti-proverbs''. Burlington: University of Vermont and Veszprém, Hungary: Pannonian University of Veszprém.〕 and Valdeva.〔Valdeva, Tatiana. 2003. Anti-proverbs or new proverbs: The use of English anti-proverbs and their stylistic analysis. ''Proverbium'' 20:379-390.〕 What follows is somewhat synthetic of these.
