Why is this phrase associated with the owl?
Even if the owl is not the most intelligent bird in the world, but it is also not wise to consider it the most stupid. In the mythology of Hinduism, it is considered the vehicle of Goddess Lakshmi, as well as in western countries it is also considered a symbol of wisdom. In the time of Mahabharata, the name of the son of Shakuni and Arsh was Uluk. Uluk and Shakuni were killed by Sahdev on the 18th day of Mahabharata. It is possible that because of being the son of Shakuni, people might have started calling Uluk or Ullu a fool.

Ullu ka pattha refers to a person who is known for doing foolish things and keeps on giving proof of his foolishness again and again. Then people start humiliating him by calling him an owl. The idiom ullu ka pattha means absolutely stupid. Stupid works are those in which a person goes on doing harm to himself or the people around him without applying his mind and the result of the work also turns out to be unsuccessful. Not only does a person remain afraid of his own loss due to stupid actions, but he also becomes the cause of problems for others. That’s why any work should always be done wisely. For example, the idiom is usually used like this –
- What have you done, you fool!
- He is just a fool’s errand. Say something to him and he does something.
- None of you have done any proper work, you are all fools!
