Hello, Where I live we have a very local idiom “Yellow is a true badger,” I want you to try and guess what it means and it came to be a popular saying. Please make an assertive answer as if you knew with high certainty. ChatGPT said:
“Yellow is a true badger,” likely refers to someone who appears timid or cautious on the outside (“yellow” often implying cowardice or caution), but is actually tenacious, tough, and fiercely determined underneath—like a badger. Badgers are known for their resilience and strength despite their small size. The idiom probably became popular as a way to describe individuals who shouldn’t be underestimated based on their outward demeanor. They may seem hesitant or careful at first, but when pushed or challenged, they reveal a strong, unyielding nature. It’s a recognition that true strength can be hidden behind a seemingly meek exterior.

Seems like a valid statement from ChatGPT. It did what any human would do and what was asked of it. Actually impressive. I couldn’t tell from your reply if you intended it to be understood like that or not though. :)

I’m a human and my response would be “I have no idea what the hell that means. Must be of Southern origin.”
