In #Persian, we've got a saying "A handful, a sample of the pile". It's for generalization of a small sample to a whole group.
For instance, I see few math students who use a small whiteboard. I say "See! This is a handful, a sample of the pile". Here I'm saying most(or all) math students use a small whiteboard.
What are the equivalent sayings in #BritishEnglish, #AmericanEnglish, #IrishEnglish and #AustralianEnglish?
What about other languages? If you are a native speaker, what similar saying or proverb have you got in your language?
If you like, a boost will be good :)

This, and please excuse my language, is absolute, bugfuck, pants-on-head, insane. One of UK's most critically acclaimed living authors (who isn't a walking hate speech or abuser), has had her books pulled by her publisher because of the laws against #PalestineAction.
#Irish novelist Sally #Rooney said her books can no longer be sold in the #UK because she financially supports the banned group #Palestine Action.
Rooney, 35, is the critically praised author of four novels: “Conversations with Friends,” “Normal People,” “Beautiful World, Where are You” and “Intermezzo.”
I remind you that all of this nonsense is happening under the nominally moderate #Labour party.
As an American, I say to fellow USians as we close in on midterms, remember that Labour proves centrists are better than rightwing, but they are not our friends. They're still bootlickers.
