I dunno, being nice to try and get something from someone?
kek, thats like
"stop bloating my balls"
Drink the stick!
To fill one's sack is to bother/annoy them.
Eat it without complaining?
Dating Ms. Michigan
>DON'T COME IN I'M DATING MS. MICHIGAN
piece of piss
When you headshot a Heavy Weapons guy and make a snarky one liner
Having sexual intercourse
Wrong. Masturbating. Michigan looks like a glove or mitt.
guess this one:
don't say "cat" if you don't have the cat in the sack
don't pretend to be something you're not?
"That's like in saint cunt of the whistles".
nope
there is a similar version in english:
don't count your chickens before they're hatched
it pretty much means "don't take something for granted" or "don't say you can do something before actually doing it"
The expression is "saint cunt of the whistles". The "that's like" is just a context to make it easier.
i have absolutely no idea
"that's like something straight out of a fairy tale"?
To give somebody some thread to re-twist.
I'll give a couple of synonymous ones:
a) That's in Judas's asshole.
b) That's in Hulls of cork.
right I live in london and have some black friends so
calm/safe/aite - okay/cool
scurd - responce to insult or lie, as in "she wasn't that hot mate" "scurd!"
peng/buff/dank - attractive, can refer to women or food
still - said following a sentence to imply more thanks, as in "thanks for the camera, still"
might think of more later
to give someone a long, boring, difficult job to do?
I assume you're from Indiana or Ohio?
Literally no one says this.
something unreachable?
>dank
More or less. It's in the same vein.
It means to give somebody a hard time.
Not necessarily unreachable, but very far away, yes:
>É em Santa cona do assubio
>É no cu de Judas
>É em Cascos de Rolha
New one:
"You can take the little horse out of the rain." > Podes tirar o cavalinho da chuva
>assubio
assobio**
"that's an easy job to do"
also, guess this one:
the eye wants its part too
No, quite a bit far off.
Is it how you want something to be pretty as well as functional? We have something here "the eye also eats" pertaining to food that may very well be delicious but you turn it away because it doesn't look edible or tasty.
>food that may very well be delicious but you turn it away because it doesn't look edible or tasty.
that's the same meaning
another one:
guests smell like fish after 3 days
Here's a chinese one I learned:
Return home to eat by yourself
tfw no gf
People overstaying their welcome?
The horse one means "stop insisting" for some reason, kek.
"You can take the little horse out of the rain because I'm not budging my point one bit".
帰家食阒
yes: used to refer to people that take advantage of your hospitality
i couldnt get yours in any way
"don't shit where you eat"
yeah, nobody knows where it came from, and it's not even obvious or indicative. I find it hilarious.
This should make more sense.
"Pão Pão Queijo Queijo" -> "Bread Bread Cheese Cheese"
井の中の蛙大海を知らず
"a frog in a well knows nothing of the ocean"
"to each its own" or "treat two different things in two different ways"?
Yeah, pretty much on point.
To get fired
回家吃自己
Come to think of it I might have translated it wrong and it's to eat yourself not eat by yourself
guess this one:
making a step longer than your leg
to take a risk/try something you're not comfortable with
You shouldn't talk about things you didn't experience/see for yourself?
Putting too much effort into something?
horse horse tiger tiger
Is that similar to "biting off more than you can chew"
That is, taking on more than you can handle?
We have that exact one too. We also have a similar one "to have more eye than belly".
Means that you tried something you weren't prepared for, right?
lol
Go quite well to the shit :^)
to pretend to be a Greek
yes, that is the meaning
someone who cannot measure their skills and tend to underestimate his real possibilities, exaggerating
i meant overestimate
pretty much, see
To be Turkish?
Speaking of which, "to give a Greek gift" or just a "Greek gift."
To feign ignorance. Like if you spoke Greek and couldn't understand a single thing.
>You shouldn't talk about things you didn't experience/see for yourself?
close
It means to have a narrow world view because they've never experience anything but their sheltered life
no
yes
to pretend to be a Greek = "to play dumb"
french bath
Kek, we have a bunch of things about Greeks.
"That's greek to me" = I don't understand that
"I saw myself [turn] Greek to do something" = it was hard to do something
"to Greek oneself" = to vomit (this one is mostly for the onomatopoeia "Grego", and not about Greece itself).
I've heard the phrase before but I forget the meaning
馬馬虎虎
This one is hard, especially because it can't be literally translated:
Keep on living, horse! The grass will grow
>Campa cavallo che l'erba cresce
Don't worry, be happy?
It's so-so or something along those lines
unfortunately, no
>chamar o Hugo (to call Hugo)
>caroço de manga não é sabonete (mango seed is not soap)
Stop waiting. Yeah, sure, the grass will eventually grow... but then you're dead of famine, stupid horse.
pretty close.
it means that you have to wait for things to happen, you have to wait for the results, which often are not even certain: the horse becomes too old, while waiting for the grass to grow.
Since there's no German here: to have the nose full.
[die Nase voll haben]
Got it.

>blathered up
