eli5 : how come when you thaw out meat you’re not supposed to re-thaw it?

Question

I’m not sure if this is true or not but it’s something I’ve heard when I was younger so I’ve just always taken it as a rule.
Is there a reason why you’re not supposed to re-freeze meat once it’s been thawed out?

Don’t be a flip-flopper, meat! Thaw me once, shame on you. Thaw me twice? Well, I’m just saucy about it!
