Discussion»Questions»Life and Society» It is often said "everyone has a price" which means anyone can be purchased if the price is right. Bullsh** or a truthy truth? Why?
Mostly truth. There are many for whom it's a load of dingo's kidneys (and I like to think that I'm one of them), but it seems that most people these days can be bought. Prostitutes (it isn't always about sex).
Merci! I LIKE it a lot . Dunno what a dingo is but I expect it's some kind of animal. Body parts like A** come in handy. "Dumba**" "Jacka**" "A**-backwards" "Lily Livered". "Heartless". "Spineless". "Foot-in-the-mouth disease". "Brainless". "Knuckle Sandwich". "Brown thumb". "Bellyfull". "Yellow belly". "Pain in the neck". "Bloodthirsty" (is blood a bodypart?) Thank you for the definition Sbf! :)
No but yes, it also means everyone has a breaking point. The price may not be money. It could be power, fame or even a threat to self or family in which case the price is keeping them safe.

"Has a price" is not always measured in money. There might be a threat to one's life or that of a family member. Or there might be grants of power, contract rights, desirable commodities and such.
