    My wife’s old dutch grandma once had a sip of beer and said “it’s like an angel pissing on my tongue”

    Talking about how many children she had “your grandfather would throw his dirty undies at me and I’d get pregnant”

    “How’re we gonna fuck this pig” is my favorite. Means “how are we going to start this unpleasant task”.

    Fun fact: Saying it at work can net you several funny looks and more!

      One from my childhood in the south, would occasionally hear the adults say “my ___ hurts worse than a whore’s knees on nickel blowjob day”

    My favourite is the (apparently) Australian saying “I’m so hungry a could eat the ass off a low flying duck”

      Aussie slang is weapons grade language. They’re not here to fuck spiders

          Australian slang is fast becoming an arrogant edifice of human endeavour that god will have to one day topple or admit defeat. I for one suspect god is here to fuck spiders, and he may even be a drongo

    My dad has a lot from growing up in a small farming community in Kansas:

    “Shakin like a dog shittin prune seeds.”

    “I gotta piss like a race horse.”

    “So dumb you couldn’t pour piss out of a boot with the instructions on the heel.”

      “Shaking like a dog shitting razor blades” is the opening of an alkaline trio song. They’re out of Chicago, so I don’t think this is local to small town Kansas. Also I’m from Texas and piss like a racehorse was fairly common.

      We have variants of those in northern England too. Shaking like a shitting dog and pissing like a police horse.

        Southern US, heard police horse but racehorse is more common. But my family’s was always “gotta piss like a pregnant woman” and “gotta piss so bad my back teeth are floating”

      I once heard a coworker say: “if brains were gunpowder, they couldn’t blow their nose”.

      A friend will occasionally say “that’ll make you take back shit you never stole”, which apparently means the thing (whatever he was talking about) was good.

    “like a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs” in reference to watching your ass.

      I feel like this could work for so many things. Like a nails on a chalkboard noise, or a bull in a China shop situation. A bull made of nails amd teeth.

    And I thought my language had something unique. Turns out, saying “even from a sack full of pussies he would pull out a dick” to an unlucky person isn’t that unique to us.

      “I wouldn’t push her/him off the bed” means they’re fuckable in German.

      Original: Ich würde sie/ihn nicht von der Bettkante schubsen.

    I have a pretty mild one that I’ve used all my life: “Good Lord willing and the creek don’t rise.” I said it once to the owner of the company I work for and he thought I meant I wouldn’t do what he’d asked of me, and he got a little upset. I had to explain it meant the opposite. That I had to explain it to him didn’t really ease the angst of the situation…
