Russian reads: “The spring will show, who has crapped and where”. I guess it can be called a modern proverb, so I’ve tagged it accordingly. :)

покажет, кто

What does this proverb mean?

What do you think it means? I guess something like 'the time will come when people's wrongdoings/mistakes/anything worth criticising + any possibly dirty secrets will be revealed'.

Sometimes I come across phrases that I think mean one thing but end up actually meaning something totally different, so I can never be sure unless I ask

It's not an "official" proverb, so the meaning is up to interpretation; the metaphor at least seems transparent, not so much what you make of it.

In hindsight, you're right, my brain just doesn't want to think right now :p
