"To Be A Fly On The Wall"...............

Wishing you could be an unnoticed observer of a particular situation.
If you would like to be a fly on the wall when a particular thing happens, you would like to secretly hear what is said or see what happens.

This rhetorical question is derived from the title of a song that became popular after World War I, in which it was wondered whether American soldiers returning from the war to their homes in the countryside would become dissatisfied with their old way of life after being exposed to the supposedly richer culture that prevailed in urban centers in Europe, like Paris.

"A Word To The Wise".........

A phrase that emphasizes a statement as advice. It is a shortening of the phrase "a word to the wise is sufficient," meaning that a wise or intelligent person can take a hint and does not need a long explanation.
