Itt we post idioms from our countries and other Anons try to guess what they mean.
I'll start:
>From the cunt on skis
>>
My grandpa had a couple funny ones.
If someone was blocking your view, you’d say
>you make a better door than a window!

And if someone was taking too long to do something, you’d say
>cmon! Grandma was slow but she was old!
>>
>>220778793
>From the cunt on skis
Out of nowhere, me guess

>Czeski film
Czech movie
>>
>>220778793
>>From the cunt on skis
Something to do with child birth. Maybe the kid came out quickly or something?
>>
>>220778793
>From the cunt on skis
Very industrious maybe, but >>220778848 sounds like a better guess.

"A big dick is little comfort in a poor home" is a good folksy one here. Not sure if it has any deeper meaning though.
>>
Does cursing count?
>I'm fucking the sun
>>
The wolf is most happy when there's fog
>>
>Like the devil reads the bible
>>
>>220779081
Doing an activity that repulses/bores you?
Being out of your depth when trying to figure out a task/problem?
>>
>>220779081
Can only imagine it's describing something that is very unlikely to happen
>>
>>220779185
Deliberately misinterpreting/distorting something. Is good idiom.
>>
>>220779236
Ok that's a good one indeed

Confusing, from the post-war Czech film
>Nikdo nic neví (1947)
Title which many Poles quotes today without knowing it

>>
>>220779666
Money doesn't smell?
>>
>>220779320
A close call?
>>
>>220779689
No, it just means you have to work hard all your life like a ___ger
>>
>>220779689
There's a french version:
"Les mains noires font manger le pain blanc"
>>
>>220779868
We have some idioms like that too, but they aren't very politically approved nowadays.
>>
'The world is a handkerchief'
To give a cat for a hare
To tallk through your elbows
>>
>>220779990
"Black" means "illegal/unauthorized" here, so that's why I was confused.
>>
>>220779807
Yes. In the same way you cleave wood, so cleaving a pussy hair means close call or that you barely managed to do something
>>
>>220780112
Yes, here too, but this is rather modern meaning.
>>
>>220780135
We just have "på håret" (on the hair), but think that exists in English too.

>>220780203
People usually said "neger" here. We're not as progressive.
>>
To have the ass bordered with noodles
>>
>To breathe through one's sleeves
>100 years behind Negros
>go into Poland
>to guard chandelier
>>
>>220780467
I love this one it's so nonsensical
The meaning of it is impossible to guess
>>
>>220780541
>go into Poland
I'm guessing this one is in reference to history and means going nowhere or going to a place that doesn't exist?
>>

>>220780541

Be sick?

>100 years behind Negros
Very behind

>go into Poland
Get going? Thinking Hitler.

>to guard chandelier
No idea. Guard one's treasure?
>>
>>220780695
No history reference this time, it means 'to go to various pubs and get wasted for several days'. One can also say 'go into tango/ballet/cruise' (pol.iść w tango/balet/rejs).
>>
>>220780765
>To breathe through one's sleeves
To breathe very heavily, to struggle to catch a breach
>>100 years behind Negros
>Very behind
Korrekt
>go into Poland
>>220780810
>to guard chandelier
Said about president or monarch, to fulfil only a representative function, so you can say that the Bri'ish monarch 'guards chandelier'
>>
>>220780882
Maketh sense
>>
>>220780407
where I'm from we usually just shorten it to på kuk/fetthåret so people here probably don't even realise what it literally means
>>
>>220781351
2850 hits for "på fitthåret". Maybe I grew up with prudes.
>>
>>220780541
l literally never heard any of these other than the negros one

>>220779031
