This proverb highlights the endless nature of labor for certain professions.

It implies that their toil is perpetual and they are constantly kept busy by the needs of society.

This expression is used to describe a situation where a powerful or intimidating person meets someone even more formidable or clever who can control them. It is equivalent to the English saying 'to meet one's match' or 'every bully has his master'.

This proverb is used to describe a situation or person that looks competent or sufficient on the outside but fails to fulfill their primary responsibilities or provide the expected benefits.

Metaphorically, it is used for any object or person that is decorative but useless in practice.

This expression is used to describe a person who is extremely healthy, sturdy, and strong, or someone who remains unaffected and thrives even in humble or messy surroundings. Just as an onion grown in manure becomes very pungent and firm, this refers to someone with a robust constitution.
