Glass House
Stone thrower's warning
A glass house is a building made largely of glass, typically a greenhouse or conservatory for growing plants.
The phrase appears most often in the proverb People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones—meaning those with vulnerabilities shouldn't criticize others for similar faults.
Glass house also refers to military prison in British and Australian slang.
