This proverb describes a situation where the output or productivity is just barely enough to meet basic, immediate needs.

It is used when someone's speed in doing a task is not matched by their common sense or quality of work.

This proverb is used to describe a situation where an experienced or brave person is unfazed by empty threats or shallow warnings.
