The old English saying "when the maggots run" typically refers to a situation where decay or corruption is present, often symbolizing moral or social decline. It suggests that when something is in a state of deterioration, it becomes evident to all, much like maggots appearing on spoiled food. The phrase serves as a reminder to address underlying issues before they become overwhelmingly apparent.
