english crockery
Can anyone think of idioms in another language that sound ridiculous when translated exactly into English?
I can think of a few in Welsh:-
“Mynd dros ben llestri”…lit “Go over the crockery“.. means “Go over the top.”
“Paid â chwerthin ar fy mhen i”.. lit ” Don’t laugh on my head.”
means..”Don’t laugh at me.”
“Paid â gwneud hwyl ar fy mhen..” lit..”Don’t make a sail on my head”.. means “Don’t make fun of me.”
“Mae’n codi pwys arna’i”..lit “It’s lifting a pound on me”.. means..”It makes me sick.”
Thank you all except peely wally..(the second part of his name is very apt)
he can’t even write English properly so no wonder he doesn’t want anyone to learn another.
Gaelic.
‘Cu*m cluas ri claisneachd’ -’ Keep an ear to hearing ‘ – Listen out for.
‘ ‘Sann dhut a’rug an cat an cuilean’ -’Your cat’s given birth to a puppy’ – Aren’t you lucky.
‘Dean eaglais no muileann dheth’ – ‘Make a church or a mill of it’ – Make what you will of it.(On your own head be it.)
Lol,no asterisk in the first word,but it won’t let me write it without one!
