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.”
Isn’t there also a saying like “fucked by a polar bear in the desert”, meaning being unlucky?
I believe you mean this one: https://eksisozluk.com/bahtsiz-bedeviyi-colde-kutup-ayisi-sikermis--165324
“Bahtsız bedeviyi, çölde kutup ayısı sikermiş.” == The misfortunate bedouin gets fucked by a polar bear in the desert.
However, I am not sure if this means fucked in a literal sense or rather “fucked up” :) probably the latter.
