i wish to know this idiom'smeaning
(chew more than you can bite)

[Casiopea]

The one I'm familiar with is, bite off more than you can chew, which means to take on something you are unable to handle. For example,

Max: I regret telling Sam that I'd help with the project. It's way too much work!
Pat: Did you bite off more than you can chew?
Max: That and more.

Literally, "to bite off more than one can chew" means, you took a bite out of, say, a sandwich, and the portion of food was so big you were unable to chew it; you could chew some, but not all.

All the best,
