*cat*Senior MemberSloveniaSloveneOct 28, 2009#1Hello,Familiarity breeds contempt.What does this idiom mean?That it's not good to be too much confidential/intimate/confiding/trusting?Story around it:When a fox saw a lion for the first time she was terribly frightened. The second time she watched him from a safe distance. The third time she went straight up to the lion and passed the time of day with him, asking him when she should have the pleasure of seeing him again; then turning her tail, she parted from the lion without much ceremony.Thanks.Last edited: Oct 28, 2009 ewieSenior MemberManchester ????????????????????????????????????English EnglishOct 28, 2009#2Hello Cat.
