This is where I maintain a list of Unparalleled Misalignments (formerly quadruple entendres), pairs of non-synonymous phrases where the words in one phrase are each synonyms of the words in the other. I've mantained this list since 2018; many have contributed, attributions (when known) can be seen by hovering over the Unparalleled Misalignment in question. Add your own via this form.

It may however have been too passionate even for our own friendly forums.
