Pearls Swine Casting Young Loop Cast Offer Buying

1. Buying our son an expensive car would be casting pearls before swine. He would be just as happy with an old used car.
2. Taking your young children to Europe would be like casting pearls before swine—they are too young to appreciate it.

The expression originates from the Biblical Sermon on the Mount, in which he says “Do not throw your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under foot.”
