This proverb describes a situation where someone who was treated with excessive affection or leniency turns around and causes harm or shows disrespect to their benefactor. It is used to warn against the dangers of over-pampering or being too indulgent with people who lack character or discipline, as they may eventually take advantage of that kindness.

This proverb is used to describe people who make loud threats or talk aggressively but rarely take any real action. It suggests that those who boast or bluster the most are often the least dangerous.

This expression is used to describe an unpredictable person who oscillates between extremes—someone who can be insignificantly helpful or harmlessly quiet one moment, and then suddenly do something aggressive, harmful, or unexpected the next. It highlights a volatile or inconsistent personality.

This proverb suggests that for every threat or nuisance, there is a specific deterrent or solution. Just as a stick can keep a biting dog at bay, certain measures can be taken to prevent or manage troublesome people or situations.

This proverb describes a situation where someone is so preoccupied with superficial appearances or momentary excitement that they ignore a serious, underlying danger. It is used to criticize people who focus on trivialities while neglecting grave risks or consequences.

It is said that a shouting man does not harm really. It is not necessary to take the loud threats of one seriously, because one may not really be able to carry out one’s threats.

This proverb is used to describe people who make a lot of noise, threats, or boasts but rarely take any actual action. It implies that those who are truly dangerous or effective do not need to shout about it, and those who shout are often harmless.

This proverb highlights the limits of one's abilities or tendencies. Just because someone is capable of handling a difficult or familiar task (like a dog chewing a hard bone), it doesn't mean they can handle an impossible or destructive task (like chewing iron). It is used to point out that even those with great strength or specific skills have their limits and shouldn't attempt things that are beyond their nature or capacity.

Figuratively, it is an act of retaliation. Similar to “Tit for tat.”
