This proverb is used to describe limitations that remain constant despite growth or progress.

This proverb is used to describe a situation where there is no space left for anything else because of an overwhelming presence or over-utilization.

This proverb is used to describe people or situations that have inherent limitations regardless of progress, time, or growth.

This is a humorous or sarcastic expression used to refer to something that is endless or unnecessarily long. It is often a playful mistake or a trick question, as the Hindu deity Rama does not have a tail; the expression mocks the confusion between Rama and his devotee Hanuman (who has a long tail) or refers to a task that never seems to conclude.
