This proverb emphasizes the power of collective opinion and democratic consensus. It suggests that when a group of people agrees on something, it gains the status of truth or law in society, whereas an individual's isolated opinion, regardless of its merit, often lacks the influence to be accepted or implemented. It is used to highlight the importance of social validation and the strength in numbers.

It is used to describe mismanagement and lack of a single, strong, and capable direction.

This proverb is used to describe a situation that is already ruined or in complete disarray.

This expression is used to describe a person or a thing that acts as a nuisance or an obstacle in an otherwise pleasant or smooth situation. Just as a small piece of wood or a splinter ruins the experience of drinking a delicious sweet beverage, this refers to an unwelcome interruption.

This proverb is used to describe how a single bad person or a small internal problem can cause immense distress to the entire group or family. Just as a tiny cavity (worm) in one tooth causes the whole mouth to ache, a troublemaker can ruin the peace of an organization.
