A few years ago I ran across the concept of obfuscated proverbs...taking a well-known saying, and trying to restate it in a much less obvious fashion. I'll share my collection here...most of which I have collected from other authors. Guess the original proverb and/or share your own.
It is fruitless to indoctrinate a superannuated canine with innovative maneuvers.
Scintillate, scintillate, asteroid minified.
Members of an avian species of identical plumage congregate.
Pulchritude possesses solely cutaneous profundity.
It is fruitless to become lachrymose over precipitately- departed lacteal fluid.
Eschew the implement of correction and vitiate the scion.
All articles that coruscate with resplendences are not truly auriferous.
When there are visible vapors having their prevalence in ignited carbonaceous materials, there is conflagration.
A plethora of individuals with expertise in culinary techniques vitiate the possible concoction produced by steeping certain comestibles.
Individuals who make their abodes in vitreous edifices should be advised to refrain from catapulting petrous projectiles.
Neophyte's serendipity
Exclusive dedication to necessitous chores without interlude of hedonistic diversion renders John a habitudinal fellow.
A revolving lithic conglomerate accumulates no congeries of a particular bryophytic plant.
Abstention from any aleatory undertakings precludes a potential escalation of a lucrative nature.
The optimal benefits of mundane existence inure gratuitously.
The avian of matutinal disciplines obtains the annelid.
It is impossible to transform an auricular appurtenance of a female member of the order Suidae into a money pouch constructed from the fibrous product of a pupating Bombyx mori.
It is inadvisable to indulge in equine exchanges while yet halfway traversant through aqueous conduits.
Eclecticism on the parts of mendicants must be interdicted.
A gyre pendulates notwithstanding the indelible repose of a member of subfamily Cricetinae.
The photon projector coruscates whilst the tenants remain elsewhere.
A near spherical cochineal fruit originating and previously depending from the bough of a deciduous arboreal growth in a current state of putrefaction will cause the separate but similar fruit which are members of the same group to degenerate physically so as to putrify in a manner not unlike the first fruit.
The contents of a metalic vessel constructed for the purpose of preparing comestibles under constant observation will never achieve the temperature required to separate its molecules so as to emit a vapor into the atmosphere
Achieving waterfowl linearization.
