through hard enough insistence.

13. Quem nunca comeu melado, quando come se lambuza.
"Someone who has never eaten syrup, will get completely
messed up with it when he eats it."

never had access before, he will go for it with everything, wanting to
have as much of it as possible - and will get all messed up.
