PROVERBIAL METAPHOR

THE MORE YOU STIR SHIT, THE WORSE IT STINKS.

Submitter comment: MY GRANDMOTHER OFTEN QUOTED THE FOLLOWING WHEN PEOPLE WERE DIS-

VERY STRONGLY THAT ONE SHOULD NEVER SAY ANYTHING ABOUT ANOTHER
MEMBER OF THE FAMILY HOWEVER DISTANTLY RELATED.

Where learned: NASHVILLE ; TENNESSEE, ASSUMED
