తిట్టే నోరు కుట్టినా ఊరుకోదు

This refers to some criminal who cannot even complain. If a person is doing something criminal, he cannot complain against a natural problem/discomfort he has to face. The moral is that it is better not to commit blunders one may find it difficult to get out of them.

This expression describes a situation where someone is suffering or facing a problem but cannot complain or cry out for help because doing so would reveal their own wrongdoings or secrets. Just as a thief cannot scream when stung by a scorpion while stealing for fear of getting caught, it refers to a state of silent, helpless suffering.

This proverb describes the power of habit. It suggests that once someone develops a habit—whether it's an physical urge to travel/roam or a behavioral tendency to use foul language—it becomes nearly impossible for them to stop or stay quiet. It is used to remark on people who cannot break their ingrained patterns of behavior.

This expression is used to describe a person who is naturally restless or mischievous, but becomes even more hyperactive, erratic, or uncontrollable due to a specific provocation or situation. It highlights a state of extreme agitation added to an already unstable personality.

This proverb highlights human hypocrisy and double standards in judging mistakes. It describes a situation where people exaggerate the mistakes of others (the daughter-in-law's mistake is seen as destroying something brand new) while making excuses for their own or their favorites' mistakes (the mother-in-law's broken pot is dismissed as having been old and already broken). It is used to point out unfair bias and blame-shifting.

This expression refers to people who have a compulsive habit of speaking ill of others or complaining. It suggests that such behavior is so deeply ingrained that no amount of punishment or warning will stop them from expressing their negativity.

This expression is used to describe someone who is short-tempered or gets angry very quickly and easily. It implies that their anger is always 'at the ready' right on their face.

This proverb is used to describe a person's inherent nature or talent that cannot be suppressed. Just as a dancer's feet naturally move to a rhythm or a singer instinctively hums a tune, someone with a particular habit, skill, or restless nature will find it impossible to remain idle or silent for long.

This proverb highlights ingrained habits or natural tendencies that are difficult to change. It implies that a person prone to verbal abuse will continue to shout, a glutton will always look for food, and a wanderer will never stay in one place. It is used to describe people who are slaves to their repetitive behaviors or restless nature.

This proverb highlights that people with certain habits or tools cannot remain idle. It refers to someone who is constantly busy, restless, or prone to fiddling with things. Just as iron (tools), a physical itch, or a cane (for discipline or craft) keep a hand active, a person's inherent nature or a specific tool in their hand will always drive them to do something.
