About the book

Ifferisms

Perfect for linguaphiles and lovers of quotes, Ifferisms is a lively compendium of wit, wisdom, and wordplay from Dr. Mardy Grothe, author of I Never Metaphor I Didn’t Like, Viva La Repartee, and Oxymoronica. A collection of aphorisms—pithy observations and timeless proverbs that communicate some kind of truth about the human experience—Ifferisms contains those that begin with “if.” From “If life hands you lemons, make lemonade” to “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” the sayings in Ifferisms demonstrate how hypothetical thinking helps people contemplate their lives.

This one-of-a-kind collection of “ifferisms” explores:

  • Classic Sayings: Discover the surprising origins of phrases like “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” and Murphy’s Law: “If anything can go wrong, it will.”
  • Wit and Wordplay: Enjoy a treasure trove of humorous quotes and clever observations from literary giants like Mark Twain, Oscar Wilde, and George Bernard Shaw.
  • Hypothetical Thinking: Explore how the simple two-letter word, “if,” opens up a world of thought experiments, from the profound to the playful.
  • Words to Live By: Find inspiration and timeless wisdom in ifferisms that touch on everything from love and marriage to politics and the human condition.
