Never bite the hand that feeds you"?

Question

what does that even mean

i know i asked this before but i just wanted to get more answers to get a better understanding

Answer 1

Imagine you are a dog. If you bite the hand of the person who feeds you, that person isn't going to feed you anymore, and you'll starve to death.
So, what this means is, if someone is providing for you in some way (for example, buying your food), don't bite them (bite should not be taken literally but could mean anything that might hurt someone, either physically or emotionally).
Don't think too much about it. It really isn't that difficult!

Answer 2

aren't idioms fun?

bite the hand that feeds you
to treat someone badly who has helped you in some way, often someone who has provided you with money.
Leaving the company after they've spent three years training you up - it's a bit like biting the hand that feeds you.


bite the hand that feeds you
to severely criticize the person or organization that helps you or pays you.
It is unwise to bite the hand that feeds you, but TV journalists need to tell the truth about the news business.

Answer 3

Don't hurt the source of your sustinence. Like Your employer,
If you work for a company don't go on TV and say they are sinister, and that you hate them especially if it isn't true

It kinda puts you in the category of a dog who bites his owner when he's giving him his kibbles and bits and gets bitten. The owner could be the president of PETA and a sweey guy but some doggies don't appreciate a roof and 3 square meals. Its like you're an un appreciative animal, enough examp;e?

Here's another dog analogy:'" Every dog gets his day"

Answer 4

Say you had a neighbour that was on benefits, and you know by going to work, you are keeping that neighbour, because you pay taxes. Then the neighbour keeps you up all night playing loud music, because he doesn't have to get up for work the next day, cos he's on benefits ( welfare.) in theory he's biting the hand that feeds him. Get it? You are going to work to feed him, he's biting your hand , by keeping you awake all night.

Answer 5

This means that you have to respect the persons or job or things that are important to your good living. For example, you may not be satisfied with your job because a boss is always arguing. But if that's the only job you could find and you desperately need money, it's better for you not to take it so hard, and try to stay calm and keep the job.

Answer 6

Meaning is that; let says you have someone been your friend for most of your life, who's helps you out in every turns of trouble, this person is your alias, you should be loyalty to such a one, don't back staff, don't do vicious thing to jeopardize this person who been your rescued.

An other example; Your boss people who you works for, they are the sources for your breads and butters, just don't do anything bad against them always peace between you and them so what ever happen just don't burn the bridge.
