This book is the first comparative study of English, German, French, Russian and Hungarian anti-proverbs based on well-known proverbs. While anti-proverbs can be considered as variants of older proverbs, they can also become new proverbs reflecting a more modern worldview.

This book examines stereotypical traits of women as they are reflected in Anglo-American anti-proverbs, also known as proverb transformations, deliberate proverb innovations, alterations, parodies, variations, wisecracks, fractured proverbs, and proverb mutations.
