For a Limited Time: Actual Snark on Snarkmarket

I love this Ask MeFi thread listing retorts to common sayings. Among my favorites:

Saying Retort

You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. But you catch the most with bullshit.

There’s no “I” in “team.” Yeah, but there’s an “m” and an “e.”

The squeaky wheel gets the oil. It’s also the first to get replaced.

The early bird gets the worm. But the early worm gets eaten.

Founded in 2003, Snarkmarket is a long-running conversation about media, journalism, technology, cities, design, books, music, movies, the future, and the past.

The title, it should be said, is a misnomer. You’ll see.
