Got completely stuck on ‘A man’s best friend is his dog’ and never thought to try it the other way around, thought that was part of the obfuscation- please allow both!
Nice, I like the level of difficulty ( in combo with this time) easy but it takes a few seconds for some, I find that allways nicer than immediately seeing everything.
got all but the waste haste. Have never heard of that one (not an native english speaker but most of the other ones are very common)
"Words are cheap" was the more common cliche in the 1800s. It was overtaken in the 1900s and the other one is far more popular now. It could be accepted, except that it doesn't really fit the clue.
This a great fun quiz, and although I got them all, I really enjoyed doing it. Same with the first one. Haste makes waste is something I have heard from somewhere (probably American TV), but I've never heard it used here in the UK.
Very, very entertaining. I honestly thought the Klingon proverb did NOT have "best" in the middle, but it turns out I was wrong. I am an embarrassment to the Empire.
"Male homo sapien" needs correcting to just "homo sapiens". The S at the end of that species name isn't a pluralizing suffix, and the "man" in the phrase "man's best friend" isn't specifically masculine.

Felt pretty stupid when the answer popped up.
Great quiz!!!
'home is where your heart is'
'less haste less waste' is the original saying that millions using British English know it by
Try comparing the phrases on Google or its Ngram Viewer to see which of the two have the lion's share of results (eg haste makes waste vs less haste less waste).
Does "Put your money where your mouth is" count?
