Somebody who makes trouble and gets noticed for it.
> gets the oil
Is subjected to 'corrective measures.'
It's another way of saying the nail that sticks out gets hammered down.
- esafak 3y agoNo, it's not. It means if you make your case yourself instead of waiting to be noticed, you are more likely to be rewarded.
- abofh 3y agoGrease isn't necessarily a reward, just something to make it quiet. It's been reinterpreted for sure, but wheels aren't bothered by them making noise, why would they care about grease?
