Common shortened English sayings? Anonymous 2016-01-27 10:28:13 Post No. 7629877 [Report]
Is there somewhere good to find a list of common ways to say longer stuff in English? (an "adage" or something?)

Like for example, "those who are ignorant about a subject are often the loudest about it" -- any shorter way to say this other than simply rewording it?

Hope you understand what I mean, thank you!

May not be what you're looking for but that's called the Dunning-Kruger effect
