Those who eat or gain from a project are not neces

Those who eat or gain from a project are not necessarily those who work hard at it. The expression currently appropriately describes officers with important and big posts who hang their coats in their offices to attend to other personal business while leaving their jobs to their juniors. Yet they are the ones who earn big salaries and credit for jobs well done, thus eating is not necessarily doing.

Observation has revealed that a barren cow is alwa

Observation has revealed that a barren cow is always jealous of other cows having children. And so whenever it sees these cows mating with bulls, it too will start flaunting itself for a bull to mate with. It sometimes also goes climbing bulls and cows indiscriminately when it sees mating in progress, thinking and behaving as if it is nothing but a climbing spree. Sometimes it wants to feed calves though it does not have milk. When a person displays jealousy, always wanting to copy, what others are doing or has, he earns this phrase. Wanting to live like the Jones is the closest English equivalent that comes to mind.

A sheep is well known for it stubbornness. When so

A sheep is well known for it stubbornness. When somebody is said to have the leprosy of a sheep, the reference would be to a disease, which does not respond to any treatment. It could also be a bad or minimal behaviour in somebody, which has failed or is failing to be changed by all methods that the community had tried: be it a punishment, people’s curses, medicine, witchcraft and others. When the phrase is used on a child, the child is being rebuked for what the mother or father sees as a bad habit that can grow and stubbornly stick.
