「妹仔大過主人婆」

(pos:語句)(sim:喧賓奪主)
<explanation>
yue:「#妹仔」係丫鬟，「主人婆」係屋企嘅女主人，全句意思係配角仲巴閉過主角；引申指次要或附屬嘅嘢搶咗主要嘅嘢嘅位置，得到更多關注甚至獲得更多資源；可以用嚟形容人、事、物
eng:to have one's priorities backward; for the "lesser" to have stolen the spotlight of the "greater"; a situation where "the tail is wagging the dog"; literally: the maidservant (is) overshadowing her mistress
<eg>
