"You play with fire the fire will get you.- Sabah , Bath, 27/7/2013 11:12>>>>Engage brain before opening mouth or in your case engaging fingers.The guy was highlighting an issue that needed to be addressed before someone did it in a rather more obvious way. - Birdy, Chester, United Kingdom, 27/7/2013 11:51 , it is not my fault if you could not understand my sentence. If you play with fire the fire will get you. Now go and analyse this before insulting people." Mmm, i think what this is trying to say in a rather roundabout way is that if you play or interfere with the big boys the big boys will not play fair? Probably wrong though.
Sabah's not very slick in English. "Engage brain before opening mouth" means think about what you will say before you say it. "Think twice before you leap" was cute, but a native English speaker would likely use the shop-worn, tried and true locution "look before you leap."
