The Maltese language is rich and colorful. They also have a wealth of proverbs. To write this post I started out trying to find some of the wise and really true ones, and ended up in a sea of proverbs about women. And shall we gently say,..ehr.. not very positive towards them.. So. A few gems below:
A woman is like a lemon; you squeeze her and throw her away.
Women have got long hair and short sense.
A womans tongue cracks bones.
Don't marry a good-looking bride for you'll have to watch her.
At night all women are alike.
A woman who does not understand by a look of the eye won't understand by a box of the fist.
A neck without a head, buttocks without a hole and a girl without shame are not worth admiring or marrying.
