معاينة
Meaning
Sounding more frightening than
you actually are.
Usage
Though our neighbour is forever shouting at
us, Larry says his bark is worse than his bite.
Origin
This saying originates in the 17th Century
when dogs kept as pets simply guarded houses,
and a dog that barked really fiercely always
sounded like he would bite a bit off you.
But if the dog didn't really bite, then it was said
that his bark was worse than his bite!
