Some more popular demand...

An old Kannada saying goes... "Bekkannu kankuLalliTTukonda haage"... for those verbal thinkers..

Bekku - Cat

kankuLa - arm pit

iTTuko - keep

haage - like

So adding up... "Like keeping a cat in your arm pits".. ever tried this? I mean, trying to hold an active cat in in your arm pits and trying to hold it there? Whats the feeling like?.. :).. The cat, though sits there, you can make out that it is trying to jump off..

This is usually told to explain a situation or a person who implicitly agrees to wholly agree with you but explicitly, disagrees in parts, may be to play safe or for fear of being taken for granted.. (well, thats all I can think of. :)..)
