KISWAHILI: KULA KIMTINDO WA KUKU.

Chanzo cha msemo huo chatokea kwenye mtindo autumiao kuku alapo chakula. Kuku huyo, hula chakula kwa kukisambaza akitumia miguu yake.

Hukisanmbaza chakula hicho, mpaka kinaonekana kama kimeisha hata kama kilikuwa kingi zaidi. Ndiyo maana watu wakimuona mlaji wa chakula ambaye hula kwa mtindo huo, humwambia kwamba yeye apenda ‘kula kimtindo wa kuku.’

Msemo huo hulinganishwa kwa mtu ambaye hula chakula kwa kukichambua kwa lengo la kutafuta kile kilicho kizuri zaidi. Mtu huyo hukishikashika chakula hicho kama amekidharau kile kingine. Ndiyo maana watu humwambia mtu huyo kwamba, yeye apenda ‘kula kimtindo wa kuku.’

Msemo huo hufundisha watu juu ya kuacha tabia ya kukishishika chakula wanapokula, ili waweze kukila kwa heshima, na kuwaheshimu pia wenzao.
