The idea behind this thread is to change a common saying ever so slightly and create a definition to go with it. For example:-
Bitter late than never - he who comes second is not a happy bunny.
Short crushed pastry - snacks dropped at a football game.

As shepherds washed their socks by night, all seated round the tub
A bar of Sunlight Soap came down and they began to scrub.
