In Wales, when it's raining hard, we say 'Mae'n bwrw hen wragedd â ffyn', which translates to 'It's raining old ladies with sticks'.

In Afrikaans, if you're going to give someone what-for, you tell them 'Ek sal jou wys waar Dawid die wortels begrawe het!' which translates to 'I'll show you where David buried the carrots!'

What are some fun idioms from your language?

In german, when you figured something out, you can say "Das ist des Pudels Kern", which means "that's the Poodle's core"

@Mopsitravels @WelshPixie omg is that why operating systems have kernels?

@DialMforMara @Mopsitravels @WelshPixie well, the kernel / core thing is, i believe, etymologically ~the same?

idk if it's because of floofy doggos, tho..... 🤔
