A bull could get into a china shop if it had escaped from a nearby farm or field. Similarly, if the china shop had left a door open then any type of animal could get in.
the First Battle of Bull Run
Bull Run.
The phrase is "Bull in a china shop." Picture a giant creature weighing a ton. Picture this store with all these dainty little porcelain objects. Picture the shopkeeper as she is about to see thousands in inventory about to be shattered.
The first battle of Bull Run took place on July 21, 1861, in Manassas, Virginia.
It typically means out of place like. In China eating beef is taboo also in the closet like a gay man
A bull in a china shop, refers to someone who is clumsy or too rough. China is fine dishware and easily broken. could you imagine if someone let a bull loose in a shop that sold china, it would be a mess.
A "china closet" means a closet or piece of furniture where you store fine china, which means dishes made out of china (not the country China). The idiom "a bull in a china closet" is used to express what it would be like if you had a bull in a china closet: all the china dishes would be broken. So if someone is "like a bull in a china closet", they are running around causing trouble or breaking things. "I Was Born In A China Closet" lol
It was first recorded in Frederick Marryat's novel, Jacob Faithful (1834).
It means that Cassie is very clumsy like a bull in a china shop.
