It highlights the potential for humiliation, insult, or physical hurt when one lacks self-respect or fails to maintain boundaries. It is used to advise someone to avoid unsolicited involvement.

This expression is used to describe something that is completely obvious or redundant. Just as it is common knowledge that chickens have wings and palm trees (or ropes/cables in some dialects) lack anatomical parts like udders, it refers to stating the obvious or describing a situation where everything is exactly as expected, often used in a sarcastic tone regarding redundant observations.

This proverb is used to describe how young children are often so active or oblivious to their environment that they don't seem to feel the cold, much like an inanimate object (a stool leg). It is often said by elders when they see kids playing outside in the cold without proper clothing.

This proverb suggests that offspring will naturally inherit the traits, habits, or path of their parents. It is often used to imply that children inevitably follow in their parents' footsteps, whether for better or worse, similar to how a calf follows the furrow made by the mother cow.
