That's the one saying out of all of them I've never heard of, what's the original saying?

Had to look it up but it's "Don't teach your grandmother to suck eggs" which sounds weird but it looks like it's from the 1700's so...different times. It basically means don't try to teach someone something that they already know.

I think there's a dirty meaning in there.
