What does "beggars can´t be choosers" mean?
Maybe it´s not correct but I hope you understand...
Thank you
Hi,
"beggars can't be choosers"
definition: people who are in great need must accept any help that is offered, even if it is not a complete solution to their problems.
example: "I can't afford a new car. A second hand car will have to do--beggars can't be choosers. "
This expression was familiar enough to be included in John Heywood's 1546 collection of proverbs.
