"A fly will not get into a closed mouth" hoặc "a closed mouth catches no flies" = một con ruồi sẽ không vào được mồm đang ngậm -> nghĩa là thần khẩu hại xác phàm, vạ ở miệng mà ra, không nói không ai bảo bạn ngốc (nhưng nói ra người ta sẽ biết bạn thực sự ngốc).

Ví dụ
A fly will not get into a closed mouth. So, learn to keep quiet to avoid trouble.

That’s me. A closed mouth catches no flies. Better to be thought a fool than open your mouth and prove it to be true!!

All that has been done is giving the mileage (lời lãi) he wants. The more that’s printed that Leo said this & that, the more he loves it. Somebody needs to tell him ‘a closed mouth catches no flies’.

My nurse knows me so well that giving talks & lectures is more up my street & keep me out of the firing line. As they say a closed mouth catches no flies. I have more leeway (chậm trễ) when I speak about it all & it has more of an impact & also the need to mind my own mental health too.
