| Feb 17, 2022 at 5:42 | comment | added | user516076 | @randomhead well, then. You should add your own answer to clarify this. Without that, a stupid learner like me never understand. :) My main question is clarifying whether it's a proverb or not, secondly I need to know the meaning of this sentence without context which might have several meanings and I will learn more when kind people would give the other possible meanings. I haven't seen someone should have an issue with this before. | |
| Feb 17, 2022 at 1:03 | comment | added | randomhead | This is not a "proverb" that people often say, it is a specific thing that a specific person said—referring to a specific meme. "Appropriate" or not, that meme is the context. If you do not show it or describe it to us we cannot tell you exactly what the comment means. | |
| Feb 17, 2022 at 0:18 | comment | added | user516076 | @randomhead sorry to disappoint you, but there's no context. Someone was just posting a meme (It's inappropriate to discuss here) and he commented like that. I don't think I should provide more detail on this. I mean, I was just asking is it a proverb and what does it mean. If it does, it can have several meanings right? If people answer differently, don't I learn more? I have seen 2 or three questions though they are quite different and are not specific, they still got answered and there's no problem either. Also, it helps people to know the other possible meanings. | |
| Feb 16, 2022 at 21:12 | comment | added | randomhead | We MUST have more context. Surely the person who wrote this did not drop by and randomly write this sentence on your Facebook wall, for example. Who is "he"? Where is "he"? Is there any kind of location that might be (poetically or otherwise) described "the land of milk and honey"? Was there any other content in the comment? You can see how those would be helpful things to know, and without them we cannot tell you for sure what the comment means. | |

| Feb 16, 2022 at 13:12 | comment | added | FumbleFingers | Without more context it's anybody's guess exactly what the cited text is supposed to imply. Perhaps he's a strict vegan, and it's a cynical observation about the fact that even though this modern world is full of good things for others to enjoy, he personally can't indulge himself in such things. | |
