When something or someone has hurt you once, you tend to avoid that
thing or person. Jill: Let's go ride the roller coaster. Jane: No,
thanks. I got really sick on one of those once—once bitten, twice shy. I
once sent in money for something I saw advertised in the back of a
magazine, but the merchandise was of such poor quality I was sorry I'd
bought it. I'll never buy anything that way again; once bitten, twice
shy.
