Can’t Make A Silk Purse Out Of A Sow’s Ear
You might be wondering why anyone would ever think of making anything out of a pig, but pig’s leather is actually quite a popular clothing material! That is why people probably coined the term, as you really “can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear”, which refers to a person that is no good. While we try to see the best in people, sometimes an individual cannot be transformed into a professional or a respectable gentleman.

You Can’t Carry A Tune In A Bucket
This is another mean saying that refers to a person’s inability to sing well. If you had to try out for a choir, and the choirmaster looked at you and said, “You can’t carry a tune in a bucket”, then you can be sure that you have absolutely no hope of winning American Idol. While we would never refer to a person as a bucket, sometimes you need the brutal truth! Just don’t stop singing in the shower.
