Lit: Pear grow up, drop in my mouth!
Meaning: Some people are very lazy. They expect that everything works out for them. Thus, a lazy one under a pear tree just waits and ask a pear to fall in his/her mouth . Perhaps Newton did the same thing, when he saw the apple fall. So, lazy people are commonly very smart as well, but that is not the primary meaning of this powerful Turkish saying.
*Thx to G.Y for this proverb.
