It was something used to refer to executions of prisoners of war during the winter war and the continuation war. It probably happened in a literal sense too. The winter war was pretty nasty, field kitchens were priority targets and mass executions of prisoners was more common than people would like to believe and people froze to death.

>>51969729
what the hell is the difference between a proverb and a idiom?
>>
>>51969871
A proverb is those kind of bullshit sentences that people think are true just because they sound good, like "a man who never tells a lie never has to remember a word he said"

An idiom is basically a way to say something indirectly, often relying on some sort of metaphor but not always. Like, "I don't give a fuck" in order to say that you don't care.

Cavalo dado não se olha o dente.
>You shouldn't look at the teeth of a horse given to you
The idea behind this is that you should not judge what was given to you for free. Someone gave you something, be grateful for that, don't judge if it isn't perfect, especially something that matters little, like the teeth of a horse.
