beggars can't be choosers

Definition

A time-honored phrase deployed when someone desperate for help suddenly develops the audacity to be picky about it. It's the verbal equivalent of an eye-roll, reminding people that when you're asking for favors, maybe don't critique the free sandwich. Ancient wisdom for modern choosing beggars who somehow haven't learned that desperation and standards don't mix well.

Example Usage

She asked to borrow money then complained I only had a twenty—girl, beggars can't be choosers.
