వెన్న పుచ్చుకొని వేసినవారిని రాయి పుచ్చుకొని వేతురా?

This proverb highlights the irony and unfairness in certain transactions or interpersonal dynamics. The person who gives or lends something is often timid, weak, or hesitant (like a fly) when asking for it back, while the person who received it becomes aggressive, demanding, or fierce (like a tiger) when it is time to return the favor or the item.

This proverb is used to describe a situation where someone changes their profession or lifestyle to escape burdens, only to find that their responsibilities or hardships remain the same. It signifies that changing one's external status doesn't necessarily solve internal or inevitable problems.

This proverb describes a situation where someone performs a transaction or gives something, but then immediately starts calculating, inspecting, or being overly suspicious and meticulous about what they get in return.

This expression is used to describe a situation where someone performs a task or a transaction with excessive, unnecessary thoroughness or repetitive checking, often out of suspicion, obsession, or to ensure they haven't lost out.

It is often applied to people who try to maintain formalities or 'follow procedure' after they have already been rejected or have failed in a blatant way.

This expression is used to describe something that happens very rarely or an event that is almost never seen. Since the flowers of a fig tree are contained within the fruit and are not visible to the naked eye, it implies an occurrence that is a rare sight or a unique phenomenon.

This tree ( Ficus Glomerata ) bears no apparent blossoms. That is as likely as to see a hog fly.

This expression refers to a situation where a secret or a private matter, despite attempts to keep it contained or 'tucked in,' spreads rapidly and becomes public knowledge. It is used to describe how certain information or rumors are impossible to hide once they start leaking out.
