Gift of Gab

Bunnycakes a dit :

thats not an idiom... unless, Im not sure. If it is put the real meaning. I wonder what country that comes from if at all it exists.

its from everywhere.
put a sock in it?
it means to shut up.
put a sock in your shoe (made up) takes it one step futher by saying:
shut up and jump in a shoe.

"Take it with a pinch of salt" - don't take it seriously
"We're in the same boat" - we're in the same prediciment/situation
"Bob's your uncle" - emphasising that something occured quickly
"Get off your high horse" - stop thinking so highly of yourself
"Seeing pink elephants", "hammered" - completely drunk/high
"Red herring" - something that misleads you from something else and/or is irrelevant

there's probably way more I just forgot them
(No idea if those are all "from" my country but eh, I hear them a lot so)

Fish (fixe) - cool

moegoe - idiot

eish - well god damn//what?//why?//

nê - OH REALLY NOW?

papsak: [pup-suck] Cheap box wine sold in its foil container, without the box.

pasop: [pus-orp] An Afrikaans word meaning "beware" or "watch out".

pavement: South Africans walk on pavements and drive cars on the road [at least that's the idea]. The pavement is the sidewalk.

piet-my-vrou: [peet-may-frow] The red-chested cuckoo, Cuculus solitarus. The name, an approximation of the bird's call, literally means "Peter my wife" in Afrikaans.

I didn't even know of these

Peter my wife? Wot

Biting off more than you can chew - err Doing more than you can handle.

neperšokęs kliūties nesakyk "op" [don't say "op" when you didn't jump over the obstacle] - you're too self-confident
ieškok lyg duonos ieškotum [search like you're searching for bread (food)] - if you want to find it that bad, try looking for it EVERYWHERE

as you can see we don't have idioms, we have short words that imply things

Put a sock in it = Shut up.
Feeling under the weather = Feeling ill.
Its raining cats and dogs = Heavy rain.

Cold as Ice (Heard this in my class) = Example:
Bob said go leave to FGdFDGhTD. FGdFDGhTD thought he was Cold as Ice.
Cold as Ice means mean or something??

I found more in a book today
gyvenimas be vyro kartus [life without a guy/husband/man is poignant] - I really have no idea what it means..
gimimas ar mirimas pinigų išleidimas [being born or dying is money-wasting] - don't bear children or plan funerals?
menka žolė išdygsta ir nesėjama [poor grass can germinate without being sowed] - a weak/fragile kid can grow up to be strong and successful
