The literal image is magical: instead of ordinary words, blossoms tumble from the speaker's lips with every sentence. It is the opposite of harsh speech. Where angry words are stones, these words are petals. ## What it really means The saying praises someone who speaks beautifully, sweetly, politely, and with charm. Elders say it of a well-mannered child; hosts say it of a gracious guest; everyone says it of the person whose talk leaves the room happier. It is one of the warmest compliments in the language. To say flowers fall from someone's mouth is to say their speech itself is a gift. ## Cultural context Punjabi culture sets great store by meetha bolna (sweet speaking). Rudeness is a serious failing, and sweet speech is counted among a person's finest qualities, especially in brides, guests, and public speakers. The phrase is a favourite in wedding praise and in folk songs celebrating a beloved's voice. It belongs to the celebratory, affectionate side of the language. ## What does munhon phull jharna mean?
