I just wondering how would be sounds some non-english phrases traslated literally into english. Especially when the meaning is quite diffrent than it sounds.

(considering the fact lot of us use diffrent languages.) who am I kidding, if you know english phrases you may tell us what does it mean.

 

I'll go first...

 

Making an eggs out of you (robić sobie jaja) - Kidding, lauthing at you

"Even if something sounds logical, it doesn't mean it have to be true"
