Coin your own saying, cliche, or truism

[Yellow Fang]

Sayings can last an awful long time, but quite often it is not clear exactly what they mean. For example, they might derive from the age of sail or from sport. So, invent your own saying, and if it catches on, you will be quoted for generations without anyone quite understanding what they're saying. I'll go first:

You can't drive your car and polish it.

I think this might comment on the fact that it is difficult to maintain a thing while using it.

If it's a red ring, it's lipstick and will wipe off.

If it's a green ring it will drop off.

Is what I say if anyone is stupid enough to ask me for advice.

If enough lager you do sup, then rest assured you will throw up.

"If your leg looks like it's going to drop off, let me know" - often said to my son when he was little and often ended up with grazed knees, bruised shins etc from being too enthusiastic on his bike.

As nippers if we went running in to our dad crying that we'd fallen over, he'd just look at us and say "Have you made hole in ground?"
