'Too much familiarity breeds contempt' có từ familiarity là sự thân mật quá đáng, sự suồng sã, contempt là sự coi thường, khinh rẻ, khinh miệt, breed là gây ra, phát sinh ra -> cụm từ này nghĩa là thân quá hóa nhờn; gần chùa gọi bụt bằng anh.

Ví dụ
“She takes the old-fashioned view that too much familiarity breeds contempt. Carole, as a former flight attendant, had in the past shown a natural instinct to try to please everyone.”

Possibly it’s the increased amount of time couples spend together in retirement. This would be in the sense that too much familiarity breeds contempt, or at least disinterest. Or being in such close quarters provides more opportunities for skirmishes, which can put emotional distance between partners.

We hear that Iron Boy is planning 3 championship bouts on the card and we think local fighters Carlos Castro, Paul “Ziggy” Romero and Francisco C. De Vaca will contend for the three titles at stake. And there are reports that at least 2 highly regarded European prospects, possibly 4, will fight on the card. That is great news because too much familiarity breeds contempt. Mr. Sanchez said he is preparing 15 tentative bouts, hoping that 10 quality bouts will come to fruition.
