They’re called “Yogi-isms…” statements of fact by Lawrence Peter “Yogi” Berra. Similar to Bush-isms in that they bend and twist the language, Yogi’s are words of wisdom.
“We’re lost, but we’re making good time”
“When you come to a fork in the road…. Take it!”
“You can observe a lot by watching.”
“The future ain’t what it used to be.”
“It gets late early out here.”
