TOP DEFINITION
A Wolof/Senegalese proverb warning against interfering in someone else's love affair. If you badmouth someone's beloved, you won't succeed in breaking their love; instead they'll turn against you.
"I told him to leave his girlfriend; instead he stopped talking to me – as the Senegalese saying goes, don't try to make someone hate who they love, or they'll hate you."
