Hey Pandas, What's A Saying In Your Language That You Think Others Should Have Too? (Closed)

German: "Herr lass es Hirn regnen" - "Lord, let it rain brains" in case somebody does or says something stupid.

Optinal addition: "Oder Steine, hauptsache du triffst" - "Or bricks, doesn't matter as long as you hit"

From Texas: Fixin' too. It means I'm getting myself ready to get ready to do something.

"Not my circus; not my monkeys"
An American English saying that means: "I'm not responsible for it, so I'm not going to stress over it."

"Whatchamacallit" and "Thing-a-magig" are pretty useful ones, especially when you don't know what something is. I don't know if non-native English speakers use it/if there's some equivalent but it's really useful.

"Bless your heart" is also a very Southern saying that I'm not entirely sure even translates to regular English. Just a heads up, it is not a compliment. You have pissed off a Southerner, or they think you're stupid.

Maanantaikappale. Its straight translation is something made on Monday. Meaning something that is a defective item. Its referring to the common belief that products made on Monday are of lower than average quality.

I'm not a native French speaker, but I love the phrase, "C'est pas tes oignons!" The direct translation is, "These aren't your onions!" but idiomatically, it means, "Mind your own business," and not in a polite way. (My dad was a professor of foreign languages, mainly French and German.)

"Umuntu Ngumuntu Ngabantu." A zulu saying meaning, I am who I am because of other people. It is to acknowledge that we are not self-made but rather we owe a lot to others; they support us and we support them. It is the founding principle of the philosophy of ubuntu, that is, sharing and helping each other. Its name has been used for the free Linux distribution popularised by our own Mark Shuttleworth. Here's a song version. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gW2E9HP5mc4

phonetically: sadeeg a’gil khair min a’dou jahil, in Arabic it means that a clever enemy is better than a stupid freind. (‏‏‏عدو عاقل خير من صديق جاهل )

Finnish: Kalsarikännit: "Underweardrunk" To get drunk at home in your underwear.

"They don't have a pot to pi$$ in or a window to throw it out of" - a person who is lacking resources.

"Like a fart in a mitten". Newfoundlander phrase meaning that the truth will get out no matter how hard you try to hide it will be let out sometime.

"All hat and no cattle." It's a phrase in Texas and the southwestern US that means a person who talks big, but doesn't have anything to back it up.

caddywumpus indicates something is not quite right. Hairball or train wreck is a situation not going well. Also the classic SNAFU - Situation Normal All Fouled Up & FUBAR - Fouled Up Beyond All Recognition. (note "Fouled" is often replaced by a different word that also begins with an "F"

Welsh: Hiraeth "especially in the context of Wales or Welsh culture) deep longing for a home you can never return to, or one that was never yours "

"Fart But Be Happy"
It's Marathi (I can't write it), and it means to do anything but be happy with the result.

Irish: Go raibh meas ag comharsana ort, go dtabharfadh trioblóid faillí ort, go gcosnaíonn na haingil thú, agus go nglacfadh Neamh leat.(May neighbors respect you, trouble neglect you, the angels protect you, and Heaven accept you,)

Not my language and not my first submission, but I learned this one from an Australian TV show: "We're not here to make love to spiders" or the more crude version of that. I lost my s**t laughing.

Honorable mention: "Well f**k me sideways"

English we have...uh......break a leg? no......cat got your tongue? eh...break the ice?

WHY ARE ENGLISH IDIOMS ALL VIOLENCE

"Στον πού@$ο μου λουλούδια, και γύρω γύρω μέλισσες:::"
