Some people think that using big words makes them look smarter.

Can you figure out what this 'smart person' is really saying? Once you figure it out, try making your own Pompous Proverb!

Maintaining a fledgling in the grasping extremity is of more merit than multiple fledglings in the thicket.

Actually, the answer was 'A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.'

And the answer to yours is, ' sticks and stones ill break my bones, but words will never hurt me.'

Try this one:
Everything is legitimate in matters pertaining to ardent affections and international armed conflicts.

I'll take a stab at it. "Everything's fair in love and war."

Here's one:

If one's goal is to accumulate Diptera, it is more remunerative to induce their presence with a fructose-based Apis mellifera extract than with, to borrow a French anachronism, "sour wine."

On a side note, if someone sauntered up to me and said that, I'd want to punch him. It's like I can't read that sentence without hearing it in Alex Trebek's voice.

I wanted to do one for, "Where's the beef?" but the best I could think of was, "Where's the dead cow parts?"

Propel, propel, propel your craft
Placidly along the liquid solution,
Ecstatically, ecstatically, ecstatically, ecstatically.
Existence is but a delusion.

Wherefore art actually means why, not where. In Romeo and Juliet, she was asking, Why do you have to be Romeo, not where is romeo. So you'd be asking, Why the beef?

Mary annexed herself a bovidae of bantum capaciousness and whoso possessed achromatic pilage. And it was custom that at whatever locus Mary absconded, the bovidae, whose perogative was to be subsequent to the moppet, surely also decanted.
