Subject: The hand

 

I chose to go into depth with a proverb that deals with the hand.

 

Eat out of someone's hand 

(third-person singular simple present eats out of someone's hand, present participle eating out of someone's hand, simple past ate out of someone's hand, past participle eaten out of someone's hand)

​

1. (idiomatic) To behave in a docile, submissive way towards somebody.
