Eugene, thank you for responding. Your answer was awesome!

Originally, the framework and many of the stories in One Thousand and One Nights came from Iran and India. Later, during the Abbasid period (in Baghdad), they were compiled and expanded in the Arabic language. For this reason, this collection is often considered part of "Arabic literature," but in reality, the stories are derived from Iranian, Indian, and Arab cultures.

This expression has been used most often in terms of the "nuclear genie." It was used a lot after the Soviets got the bomb.

You can't unring a bell, nor put toothpaste back in the tube works too lol

joymarch016, there have been wars since time began. I'd say WWII with the dropping of the atomic bomb was more significant.

Sounds like World War l !! Nothing ever went back the same again and normality was never reclaimed, we've all been fighting ever since !!

Does not forfil that criteria.
