What are some (non-English) idioms, and what do they mean (both literally and in context)? Odd ones, your favorite ones - any and all are welcome. :)

For example, in English I might call someone a “good egg,” meaning they’re a nice person. Or, if it’s raining heavily, I might say “it’s raining cats and dogs.”

    In Danish we have “Goddag mand økseskaft

    We have that in Norway as well. Just replace or remove that d in mand.

    Another one I like is “ikke kunne se skoven for bare træer

    Same about that one

      Thank you Norway for showing the trans gender community your support in removing the d from there man
