सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि

In Hungary, being 'straight' (egyenes) is a highly valued trait. This idiom is the linguistic embodiment of that value. In Hungarian-speaking parts of Romania, the idiom is used with the same frequency and meaning, often in community disputes. Modern Hungarian offices use this frequently during 'retrospective' meetings to encourage honest feedback. Tabloids often use this in headlines when a celebrity gives an exclusive 'tell-all' interview.
