意味
Displaying one's power or vanity.
文化的背景
The 'Noth' was historically a symbol of 'Sadhaba' (a woman whose husband is alive). Shaking it was a sign of her domestic power. Jewelry in South Asia is often tied to social hierarchy. The larger the ornament, the higher the status, leading to idioms about 'showing' jewelry. In modern offices, this idiom has shifted to describe 'toxic' managers or colleagues who overstep their authority. Authors like Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay often used this phrase to depict the arrogance of wealthy village women.
Use with Sarcasm
This idiom works best when you want to be slightly sarcastic about someone's self-importance.
Gender Neutrality
Don't be afraid to use it for men; it's perfectly normal in modern Bengali.

Pair with 'Beshi'
Adding 'beshi' (too much) makes it sound more natural: 'বেশি নথ নাড়ো না' (Don't show off too much).
Literary Context
If you are reading Bengali classics, look for this phrase to understand character dynamics.
