Biting the Hand that Feeds You and Ungratefulness

The expression, Little Boy, which has become part of the vocabulary of the political platform, can be credited to a former lady minister of the New National Party administration back in 1998. I noted that it was an expression of choice during the round of tenth anniversary village meetings of the New National Party. From these meetings, it would seem that two other popular expressions have emerged - biting the hand that feed you and ungratefulness.
