Sentences Example
Balinese
Be apaso aduk sera aketeng.
English
Literally meaning 'a large container of fish mixed with a little bit of shrimp paste'. Sera, shrimp paste, smells quite bad unless cooked with food, and it would ruin the smell of a great many fish. The expression is equivalent to a rotten apple in the barrel, meaning that a little bit of a bad thing spoils a great deal of a good thing.
