                         LİCK YOUR PALM      


 The meaning of this idiom is: Not being able to get what one wants, not getting what one hopes for.  

 How did this idiom, which is widely used in daily life, come about?

  It has been affected by the movement of bears, which try to get enough by licking the bottom of their soles in snowy and cold weather in winter and retreat to their homes.  because even if bears search in winter, they cannot find food.  Knowing this, bears hibernate.  He just licks his feet as there is nothing else they can do.

  This idiom, it started to be used by being influenced by this movement of bears.
