Slang: 和尚打傘,无法无天 -Lawless

和尚monkholdingumbrella,无nolawnosky, it means: lawless.

When a monk holding an umbrella, neither there has 发(hair) nor sky under the umbrella.  发 has the same pronunciation with 法,people use 法 to replace 发, indicating a lawless situation.

e.g. 某些人以所谓不公的借口大肆抢掠商店,简直是和尚打伞,无法无天。
Some people used the excuse of so-called injustice to loot the stores arbitrarily, they totally defied the law.
