This proverb refers to things that are very light or very heavy with no middle ground.

It is often applied to old vehicles, unpredictable people, or projects that lack a steady momentum.

This expression is used to describe a situation where things are unstable or temporary. Just as a large stack of round pots is prone to falling and rolling at the slightest disturbance, certain plans, relationships, or positions are inherently precarious and unlikely to remain steady for long.
