A book called I’m Not Hanging Noodles on Your Ears… examines idiomatic parlance from over the globe.
A few examples:
Not hanging noodles on your ears: Russian – not kidding
To live like a maggot in bacon: German – live in luxury
To reheat cabbage: Italian – rekindle an old flame
Like fingernail and dirt: Spanish, Mexico – well suited
Bang your butt on the ground: French – die laughing
Plucked like a chicken: Yiddish – exhausted
To bite the elbow: Russian – to cry over spilt milk
Smoke from 7 orifices of head: Chinese – to be furious
To become naked: Japanese – to go broke, poor
An ant milker: Arabic – a miser, tight wad
Give it to someone with cheese: Spanish – to deceive
Squeezer of limes: Hindi – self invited guest, idler
To break wind into silk: French – live the life of Riley
A taste of D.C. imbecility.
Clever.
