બેઠક Bethak

ખાવે શૂરા, ને લડવે પૂરા.

khāvē śūrā, nē laḍavē pūrā.

Literally
Brave at eating, and complete at fighting.
What it means
Said sarcastically of someone who boasts or eats heartily but fails completely when called to action.
ગુજરાતી કહેવતસંગ્રહ (Gujarati Kahevat Sangrah) (1921) · read from the scan by machine — the Gujarati itself is unchecked · English is machine-made and nobody has checked it yet

Heard it differently, or know we've got the sense wrong? Tell us — that is exactly the kind of correction this needs.
