    You opened this can of worms, you’re gonna go fishing.

    Ohh so that’s what that phrase came from.

      <.< Full disclosure, I made that up on the spot. And a quick google suggests there is no full saying, it means “you opened us up to more trouble/problems” where the worms are the trouble/problems in question.

        Too late. We’ve just witnessed a false “the full saying” be born. It will be remembered alongside such classics as “oftentimes better than a master of none”, and “satisfaction brought it back”

      Yeah hearing the full phrase is fun. Like “speak of the devil and so he shall appear”.
