The paper discusses the contemporary use of proverbs in Slovenian language. Proverbs are also a part of folklore, so we are introducing and applying the new term folklore moment as a part of folklore event and as an autonomous unit. The other form of using paremiological units is modifications: 1. Modifications in the function of jokes, anti-proverbs, which are appearing mostly on the Internet, 2. Modifications in the function of commercial. Modifications in the function of the commercial are rather frequent in Slovenian advertising although it is set to be obsolete.
