But let's look at the note here. The proverb basically means don't try to give advice to someone who has a lot more experience than you do. You know, at a particular thing. So if they're like an expert at it or they're a professional at it, you shouldn't be giving them advice. At least at that thing. Okay. Let's continue here. The earliest citing of this proverb was from a John Stevens translation of "Quevedo's Comical Works" in 1707. Yes. So I think this guy was a captain. He was very famous for a lot of translations from a lot of Spanish works. So this originally was written in Spanish. The translated quote was "You would have me teach my Grandma to suck eggs. " And they say this phrase ended up becoming very common in England for a long time too. All right. So I don't know it's a little weird. It goes all the way back to the seventeen hundreds. Maybe in the 1700s or 1600s maybe people really did suck eggs. Or maybe they put a little hole on each end and they sucked it out. And you know maybe grandma would have a lot more experience at this than somebody else. So but anyway that's how the phrase came about. It sounds strange today because people don't suck eggs anymore. We crack eggs. We cook eggs but we don't usually suck eggs. So or suck raw eggs anymore. But anyway. Let's, let's look at a couple of examples we have here. You shouldn't be giving your lawyer legal advice. Don't teach Grandma to suck eggs. Okay or number two. Telling that artist how to paint is insulting to him. Don't teach Grandma to suck eggs. Okay. Anyway this is just the way you might hear it. Anyway, I hope it was informative. I hope you got it. Thank you for your time. Bye bye.
