“You can catch more flies with honey, but you can catch more honeys by being fly”
“You can catch more flies with honey, but you can catch more honeys (by) being fly” is a saying that has been printed on many images. “Honey catches more flies than vinegar” is an old proverb from at least the 1600s. “Honeys” is slang for “women,” and “fly” is slang for “cool.” The saying was probably thought by several people independently, without one specific coiner.
