Antiverb

Visible to anyone in the world

A proverb is a wise saying passed down by oral tradition. I was forced to learn scores of them in my earliest schooldays. Some examples

Too many cooks spoil the broth

A stitch in time saves nine

Many hands make light work 

Least said soonest mended

I feel that now I need to push back. Here is my first antiverb, which I hope offers no advice but makes up for that in interest.

Uncle Jake was a rat-arsed pirate at the beginning of the universe.
