how to understand this"opening a can of worms"?I have thought of it for a long time.Thank you very much!
To open a metaphorical can of worms is to begin to examine some
complicated state of affairs, the investigation of which is likely
to cause much trouble or scandal.
sentense
It can also refer to a situation which once begun can't be stopped or undone - you can't put the worms back in the can.
