Idiom #9: Bite the hand that feeds you

Bite the hand that feeds you

Meaning: To do bad things to someone (or something) that has helped you.

Example:
  • Mami: Ok, Rara do you want some food?
  • Rara: Wan, wan!!
  • Mami: Alright here's your food!!!
  • Rara: WAN, WAN!!!!!! *bite*
  • Mami: Ahhhh, itai!!! Ouch!!!
  • Mami: Rara! Don't bite the hand that feeds you!
  • Rara: ...
she is so innocent looking!

Origin: This is another simple phrase to imagine. If you have a dog, think about him or her. You feed your dog everyday, take care of her, play with her, wash her, and buy lots of wonderful things for her...and then she bites your hand! How would you feel? So, in real life, if someone (a boss, a friend, a teacher) or something (a church, a school, a company) does something good to you, don't do something bad to them...or say bad things about them to someone else!


By the way, Rara is my wife's family's dog~

You could replace Rara with Bella, and Mami with Michelle and it would be just as true.
