Whatzit? #10

The answer to Whatzit? #9 was “Bull in a China Shop.”
This was a good Whatzit puzzle! If only I had clued in that by using the word “Taurus,” they meant bull. Taurus is the second sign of the zodiac and its emblem is the bull. It wasn’t a very hard one if you knew stuff about the zodiac signs. Taurus was written between china shop, therefore you get “Bull in a china shop.” This is what a found on the internet:
Bull in a China Shop:
Definition: someone who is clumsy; someone who upsets other people's plans
Explanation: Used when talking about a person who is rather insensitive
Examples: He was like a bull in a china shop with our new clients. - His lack of understanding made him appear as a bull in a china shop.
I don’t believe that I am a very clumsy person and that line has never been used on me but I do remember my mom telling me to never touch anything when we would go to stores with anything breakable...I found this comic quite funny. Hope you enjoyed my blog :).
