«اِللُّقْمَه الْكِبِيرَهْ تُقَفْ فِي الزُّورْ»

The image is a mouthful so large that it cannot go down, catching in the throat and making the eater choke. The proverb turns this into a lesson about proportion: what is swallowed must suit the one swallowing it.

Applied to people, it describes a great prize, post, or burden falling to someone who lacks the ability to manage it. The point is capacity, not simply greed or appetite: instead of benefiting, that person ends up confused, overwhelmed, or in difficulty because the gain exceeds their capacity.

Use it as a remark on someone who takes on or receives something too large for their means, skill, or standing, and then struggles or becomes flustered. It works as a sober caution beforehand or a wry comment after trouble appears.
