- Summary
- "As defined by folklorists and proverb scholars, a wellerism (German: "Sagwort") generally consists of three parts: a speech or statement (often a proverb), identification of the speaker, and identification of the situation, which gives the expression an ironic or humorous twist, often in the form of a pun. 'Prevention is better than cure, said the pig when it ran away from the butcher.' " (A Dictionary of Wellerisms / [edited by] Wolfgang Mieder, Stewart A. Kingsbury.) This work features 1111 modern examples of the wellerism as found in literature and media.
