Idiom of the day

 The idiom "Curiosity killed the cat" is a warning that being too curious or nosy about things that don’t concern you can lead to trouble or danger. It suggests that sometimes, asking too many questions or meddling in things you shouldn't can have negative consequences.

Breaking it Down:

1. Curiosity – This means wanting to know something, being eager to learn, or investigate.

2. Killed the cat – This part is metaphorical, meaning that too much curiosity can cause harm, problems, or even danger.

Example Situations:

• If someone keeps asking personal questions about another person's life, and it leads to an argument, they might be reminded:
  → "Be careful! Curiosity killed the cat."

• If a child plays with electrical sockets out of curiosity and gets shocked, the parents might say:
  → "See? Curiosity killed the cat. You should have listened!"

Positive Variation:

There’s also a lesser-known continuation:
"Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back."
This suggests that curiosity isn’t always bad—sometimes, finding the answer to a question is worth the risk.
