My friend from NH says that!

I like the Australian expression “We’re not here to fuck spiders” ie “we’re serious / not messing around.” Can also be used as an enthusiastic affirmative, as in “Hey Bob, do you want to go surfing tomorrow?” “Mate! I’m not here to fuck spiders!”

So hungry, I’d eat the arse end of a skunk

This isn’t a very polite one but:
Teeth were so crooked (or buck toothed), he could eat an apple through a chain link fence

  • They look like the morning after the night before
  • -rode hard and put away wet

So inspired by yesterday’s TS zoom and @Ravikamor ( :smiley: ) I decided to start this thread.

Since we are international bunch, and I’m sure people know all kinds of languages, it would be great to hear what are some of the funny sayings or idioms that you have heard in different languages!

I’ll start this one off with a Finnish one (which is my native language). In Finnish it goes:

Hymyä huuleen, vaikka kusetkin vastatuuleen!

And the rough translation:
Keep smiling, even though you’re peeing against the wind!

Okay people, hit me with your best ones!
