Foreign idioms?

[DustyMcDustbuster]

Do any of you have any funny foreign language idioms? I particularly love the French for loads of their’s, but this is my favourite.

J’ai une taupe au guichet.

I have a mole at the checkout.

Or... I’m touching cloth.

@mammmamia the French is “les Anglais ont débarque”

It’s based on the English wearing red coats... 😂

Oh what is the period one please?

I know they normally are so good when they are rude though!

[DustyMcDustbuster]

@Kitty haha. Bit fucking underwhelming though.

@redexpat no, I haven’t. I love idioms, they’re so expressive. The French have another about periods which translates to “the English have landed”

I love your shape
We feel like a magnet
Even if my heart comes too
I'm in love with your body
I'm in love with your body

@Kittycuddles oooooooh fab idea!!! What about :

I'm in love with the shape of you
We push and pull like a magnet do
Although my heart is falling too
I'm in love with your body

Nope! But putting phrases and songs in to Google translate is fun! Name a quote or song and a language and I'll send back what it says if you like, or the best of rather x
