A donkey does not know what kind of fruit persimmon is
What does “not biting” mean?What does "kind of sums things up” mean?What does “of a kind” mean?An English idiom for “solve a problem that has been solved”?Meaning and origin of “put a wrinkle on one's horn”What does “he is kind of big deal” mean?What does “in the know” mean?Is 'what kind of starting pay' right?What does `never argue with a fool, people may not know the difference` mean?Does anyone know an expression that could substitute for “not my first rodeo”?
The above-mentioned idiom comes from my native language. We use it when we are referring to a person ( often tasteless and unsophisticated one ) who finds it hard to appreciate a good thing or does not understand the ( aesthetic ) value of something. More or less similar expression in English I have found is this - "Caviar to the general" but it does not fully convey the same meaning. Is there an idiom or expression in English which would carry the same meaning ?
- Yesterday we were talking about food and do you know what John said ? He said that he preferred fast food restaurants over expensive ones. Well, A donkey does not know what kind of fruit persimmon is.
