Good evening. Today I want to ask you about the meaning (or, more precisely, understanding) of the idiom above (the one written as the title).
So, does it mean that the person to whom we say 'hanged for a sheep as a lamb' will be severely punished even though he or she doesn't deserve it and that, because of this fact, they should take all advantages of their life they can? Or do you understand this idiom somewhat differently?
