Cock Mout Kill Cock

"Cock mout kill Cock".




This is the Killdeer - I call her the Drama Queen

Translation:  Cock mouth kills the Cock

What does this mean?  Well, the Cock wouldn't be Sunday dinner if it could keep it's mouth shut!  How about that!  Ever having an exchange of words with someone, you're finished and they just keep talking, inadvertently or unconsciously revealing information that works against them?  That's what this mean.

This happened to me recently.  I was locked into a "debate" with someone, I realized long ago that this person never admit an error or know when to stop so I said, we are not going to agree on this, and in the end it is pointless as there is nothing to gain by continuing so let's just stop and agree to disagree.  The person in question continued by email after agreeing to stop (which is the worst because now their communication is in writing) and that
 could be damaging against them.  At that point I recalled this proverb that someone used in a facebook discussion thread!

Know "when to say when", do not let the need to be right or to show how much you know end up costing you your reputation or the respect of your loved ones, peers or boss.
