In English language there are many phrases that use animals and birds to express or emphasize specific qualities. For example, lionhearted is used to describe someone brave and determined, “chicken feed” is used for suggesting insignificant amount of money, “white elephant” refers to something very expensive to maintain. There are other expressions too like “toothless tiger”, “monkey business”, “eagle-eyed” etc.
Has anyone heard the expression “Paper Turtle”? Whaaatttt? Did I hear no? No worries. “Paper Turtle” means what it says! It’s a piece of paper towel which when crumpled ends up looking like a turtle! 😂 You don’t believe me? By the time you finish reading this post just look at the attached picture!
