Two unanswered questions from the years that nag at me day and night -- probably explains the panic attacks and the unending prescriptions: First (two parter) 1) is there a 'specific' name for the type of sentence uses a phrase and then follows with the same phrase but with two words switched: "It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog" in order to sound ironic/pithy/litotic/stupid (in the case of sports casters)? 1A) WHAT IS IT? 2) What are those little strings that are on a banana after you peel it called? God I hate those!
