bull in a china shop

Something that destroys everything it touches, the antonym of the midas touch

What's worse than a bull in a china shop? A hedgehog in a condom factory.

Bull in a china shop

like a bull in a china shop

To be like a bull in a china shop is a simile used to describe an extremely rough or dangerous person in a place where gentleness is a must.

It brings to mind the image of a huge rodeo bull exploding into a tiny curio store and throwing his weight around in a beserk rage, annihilating every last teacup.

The huge wrestler burst into the house, knocking pictures off the wall like a bull in a china shop.
