Definition of perverb
1 sense · 1 part of speech · etymology included
noun
-
A statement humorously constructed by merging together two proverbs.
“A perverb splices the first half of one proverb, or saying, with the second half of another.”
“These perverbs are consistent with the cognitive view's emphasis on the theoretical import of idiosyncratic proverbs. When a perverb is used in public, and some are, the theoretical issues raised are as pressing as they are for any production P-task.”
