Hungarian idioms:

"Szüljél sünt!" / "Go and give birth to a hedgehog!"

"Ez még a kutyának se kell." / "Not even the dog wants this."

"Az isten bassza meg!" / "God, fuck it!"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Don't sugarcoat it. That is originaly "szarjál sünt", meaning shit out a hedgehog...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

And if you want something more disturbing, how about "kutyából nem lesz szalonna!" (You can't make bacon out of a dog). Or "itt a tavasz, dagad a fasz" (spring time is here, the dicks are swollen). "terhesen nem vág orrba a lengő ajtó" (the door wont slam in your face if you are pregnant).

Does the Pope shit in the woods?

[–] skulblaka 41 points 1 week ago

My favorite variation on this I ever heard came from one of my coworkers a few jobs ago. I forget the exact context, but:

"Hey [Name], can you get this done?"

"Can the Pope's dick fit through a donut?"

"....I don't know?"

"Exactly 😎👉"

English idiom in the vein of Polish shit idioms:

Stack wishes in one hand and shit in the other and see which one piles up first.

First time I heard a variation of it was from Mike Nelson on MST3K. He said crap instead of shit, obviously.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

My family has always used "shit in one hand and wish in the other, see which one's ready first"

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Lmao but why? Are Polish folks especially concerned about the bathroom habits of their elders?!

Edit to add: before even knowing what it meant this one was my favorite.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 week ago

"When You're born a whore You won't die a canary." "You are getting to it like a dog to a hedgehog."

We've got "shit or get off the pot"

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I definitely need context for "grandma's sitting has ended"

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago (3 children)

means "I am enraged" can be said e.g. by mom to children

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If I'd had a million guesses I wouldn't have guessed that and yet it makes perfect sense, thank you

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

no problemo

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Are you sure? Because to me this means someone has finished spewing bullshit. Or something annoying has finally come to an end.

Due to the respect for the elder, you let them finish, but you know it's nonsense.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

yeah, you are right. "I have had enough" is a better translation (Epic reference XD)

My great grandmother that had one that was:

Stop masturbating under that apple tree.

Maybe sounded better in Polish.

If you’re trying to mock English idioms then those aren’t even close to the worse.

How about:

“I screwed the pooch on this one”

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

Hey, you're the one fucking this goat; I'm just holding the horns.
