    - Don't throw out the baby with the bath water!
    - I like this bath. You can throw out baby with this ugly bag. Or you can thow out only baby

    It sound rude and brutal.

    Example:

    - I love my work. I love my fellows, we are like friends. I love my work place, and I have nobel salary. But I hate our boss. He is stupid, self-satisfied, person. I want quit from the work because of him. I can't talk with he more than 1 minute. You know I already found new place.

    - Take it easy, My mommy always was saying: "Don't throw out baby with the water". You always can disregard him.
