∙ 12y agoThe literal meaning of this phrase is that a leopard--a kind of animal--can not change the pattern of hair colors it is born with. The figurative meaning is that a person is honest or dishonest, or a person is industrious or lazy, or a person can or can not keep a secret, or whatever, and a person will never change. This is not true in all cases, but that's what the expression means.
