This seems to be exactly like #never change a running system (except spicier): an English idiom only ever used by Germans, and consequently, only appearing as mentions in German texts. Not sure what to make of it. This, that and the other (talk) 10:09, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
- It indeed only seems to be attested in German, so I've changed the L2 header to German and added the only three cites I could find. RFV-failed as English but RFV-passed as German? But absolutely no objection if someone wants to RFD it as not being a real or common proverb/idiom (we are not Wikiquote, to record every phrase that's in three books). - -sche (discuss) 03:37, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
- Another variation I've heard used in German is "never/don't fuck the company" (do they correspond to English idioms?) Jberkel 18:10, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
