   • 2012, John R. Taylor, The Mental Corpus: How Language is Represented in the Mind, page 272:

     A perverb splices the first half of one proverb, or saying, with the second half of another.

   • 2013, Richard P. Honeck, A Proverb in Mind: The Cognitive Science of Proverbial Wit and Wisdom, page 186:

     These perverbs are consistent with the cognitive view's emphasis on the theoretical import of idiosyncratic proverbs. When a perverb is used in public, and some are, the theoretical issues raised are as pressing as they are for any production P-task.
