  • Aforismo à deriva é um termo que descreve a ampla atribuição errônea de citações e aforismos ditas por figuras obscuras a figuras mais famosas, geralmente de seu período de tempo, com o objetivo de que essa citação ganhe mais notoriedade e/ou valor. Em 2006, a escritora Cora Rónai publicou o livro "Caiu na rede: os textos falsos da internet que se tornaram clássicos de Millôr Fernandes, Luis Fernando Veríssimo, Arnaldo Jabor, João Ubaldo Ribeiro, Caetano Veloso, Jorge Luis Borges, Carlos Drummond de Andrade, Gabriel García Márquez, e muitos outros", no qual ela cita vários aforismos à deriva.

has abstract
  • Churchillian Drift is the term, coined by British writer Nigel Rees, which describes the widespread misattribution of quotes by obscure figures to more famous figures, usually of their time period. The term connotes the particular egregiousness of misattributions to British prime minister Winston Churchill. Websites, as well as word of mouth, are responsible for repeating these misattributions, with the result that they are commonly believed. US Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, for example, has erroneously credited Churchill for the saying, "Americans will always do the right thing - after exhausting all the alternatives." (en)
  • Aforismo à deriva é um termo que descreve a ampla atribuição errônea de citações e aforismos ditas por figuras obscuras a figuras mais famosas, geralmente de seu período de tempo, com o objetivo de que essa citação ganhe mais notoriedade e/ou valor. Nos primórdios, o aforismo à deriva era replicado boca a boca. Com o advento da internet, à princípio através de e-mails e mais recentemente com as redes sociais, elas passaram a se disseminar de forma mais ampla e rápida. O presidente da Câmara dos EUA, Paul Ryan, por exemplo, erroneamente creditou a Winston Churchill o ditado: "Americans will always do the right thing-- after exhausting all the alternatives" ("Os americanos sempre farão a coisa certa - depois de esgotarem todas as alternativas"). Em 2006, a escritora Cora Rónai publicou o livro "Caiu na rede: os textos falsos da internet que se tornaram clássicos de Millôr Fernandes, Luis Fernando Veríssimo, Arnaldo Jabor, João Ubaldo Ribeiro, Caetano Veloso, Jorge Luis Borges, Carlos Drummond de Andrade, Gabriel García Márquez, e muitos outros", no qual ela cita vários aforismos à deriva.
