意思
Someone who interferes in everything.
文化背景
In traditional Hungarian villages, being 'minden lében kanál' was almost a social duty to ensure everyone followed community norms, though it was still complained about. In Budapest, this phrase is often used to describe 'troll' behavior on local district Facebook groups where residents argue about everything. The TV show 'The Persuaders!' is so famous in Hungary as 'Minden lében két kanál' that many people associate the idiom with the charm of the main characters. Workplace hierarchy is important in Hungary; a subordinate being 'minden lében kanál' with a boss's affairs is seen as a major faux pas.
Use it with 'igazi'
Adding 'igazi' (real) before the phrase makes it sound more natural: 'Ő egy igazi minden lében kanál.'
Don't use it for yourself
Unless you are being very self-deprecating and sarcastic, don't call yourself this, as it sounds like you are admitting to being annoying.

The TV Reference
