What are some (non-English) idioms, and what do they mean (both literally and in context)? Odd ones, your favorite ones - any and all are welcome. :)
For example, in English I might call someone a “good egg,” meaning they’re a nice person. Or, if it’s raining heavily, I might say “it’s raining cats and dogs.”
In Dutch “that hits (fits) like pliers on a pig”, meaning that it’s completely absurd.
“Blood crawl where it can’t go”, means that if you want it bad enough, you’ll find a way.
“For an apple and an egg” means it’s very cheap. But “little apple little egg” means it’s very easy.
But my alltime favourite is “poepje”, which is a term of endearment that little means “little shit”
