Saying and proverb
Hi, what is the difference between the words "saying" and "proverb"?

To me, they are the same, except that a proverb is an old saying, more highly polished and memorable, perhaps.

I agree. You could say, "We have a saying around here: if Carmine is in a good mood, you'd better watch your back," but you wouldn't call something like that a proverb.
