Hungarians value modesty. Using this proverb to describe your own success is a common way to avoid appearing 'nagyképű' (arrogant). In villages, this proverb is still taken somewhat literally as a reminder that every living thing has a chance to survive. Fans often use this to mock a rival team that won by a 'fluke' goal, implying they didn't deserve the win. In modern offices, it's used ironically when a complicated software bug is fixed by someone who doesn't understand the system.
