This proverb is used to describe things that are particularly harsh, intense, or uncontrollable. Just as the sun feels much hotter and more piercing immediately after a cloud cover passes, it is traditionally suggested that a woman who has lost her husband's protection or social restraint might act with fierce independence or unchecked intensity. It is often used to remark on the stinging nature of a situation or a person's sharp behavior.

This proverb describes four things that are difficult to manage or have unpleasant consequences.

This proverb lists four things that become intense or volatile due to sudden change or release. 1. The sun feels much hotter immediately after clouds clear. 2.

This proverb highlights three things that are considered uncontrollable, fierce, or difficult to deal with.

It is used to describe situations or people that have suddenly become intense or hard to manage after being released from a constraint.

This proverb is used to describe something or someone that is extremely intense, harsh, or unbearable.

This proverb refers to a person who has become desperate, reckless, or completely shameless. Once a person loses their fear or sense of social propriety, they stop caring about the sacredness or rules of society, treating even a common kitchen tool like a ladle with the same (or lack of) regard as a holy deity. It is used to describe someone who has nothing left to lose and acts without inhibition.

This proverb refers to finding a place or a group that welcomes those who have been cast out or have abandoned their previous lives.

It is used to describe someone who acts without restraint or accountability.
