意思
To be opportunistic, adapting one's opinions or behavior to suit the current circumstances for personal gain.
文化背景
The concept of 'Nān' (bread) is central to Iranian life. Wasting bread or disrespecting it is considered a sin. Using it in this idiom shows how seriously Iranians take moral consistency. Due to Iran's history of rapid political changes, this phrase is a staple of political discourse to describe 'survivors' who stay in power regardless of the regime. The 'Bazaar' is not just a market but a social system. This phrase reflects the tension between the 'honest merchant' and the 'opportunistic speculator.' In the age of influencers, this phrase is used to call out celebrities who jump on social justice trends only when they are popular.
