Funny Twists on Classic Sayings That’ll Make You Smirk

Let’s just have some fun. I love a good cliche, and I love the twist of a term, so today I’m going to toss out a bunch of twisted cliches.

Curiosity thrilled the cat

When life gives you lemons, squirt them in life’s eye

You can’t teach an old dog new tricks – unless you bribe it

A penny saved is barely worth the effort

The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese

Good things come to those who hustle while they wait

You made your bed – now unmake it if you don’t like it

Don’t put all your eggs in one basket – unless you really like omelets

It’s all fun and games until the Wi-Fi goes out

Jack of all trades, master of fun

If at first you don’t succeed, redefine success

A rolling stone gathers no deadlines

Home is where your phone autoconnects

Two wrongs don’t make a right, but they make a great story

Don’t count your chickens before they unfollow you

Better late than…oh wait, it’s tomorrow already!

I hope this bit of whimsy was fun. Did I miss your favorite twisted cliches? Let me know down below the Related Posts section!

  • Rethinking Modesty

    Modesty is not merely about covering up but about revealing our true selves in a way that aligns with our deepest values and identity. It’s a personal journey of expression that transcends traditional norms, inviting us to present ourselves authentically to the world. This redefined view of modesty empowers us to communicate who we are, not just through our words but through the very essence of our being.

    I didn’t even know about this project for 2010 or any previous years, but I’m in for 2011! The concept is that you post one photo taken every day of the entire year. I’m rarely very far from my camera anyway, so this is right up my alley. The participants of past projects have all…
