yen_powell Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 My son used to say, 'Dad, I can't sleep'. I would reply, 'If you can't sleep then you don't have to', then as his face lit up, ' BUT you have to lay there with your eyes closed all night'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most worrying thing about this is the fact that you were allowed to reproduce. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's easy, you don't need a licence, training or any sort of certificate. You have more trouble trying to adopt a dog from Battersea Dogs' Home than knocking out a sprog. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanted, wanted, potatoes with eels It something you say when someone asks you for something you're not willing to give them or do, or something unrealistic. It doesn't make sense in English neither does the verb translate, it means "You would want, you would want, potatoes with eels" Might have been from an older time when potatoes with eels was maybe a rich dish, I don't know. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 "Oh puta, deita-te" This is not so much a Portuguese saying, but a northern Portugal expression. It's not really PC, translates into "Oh whore (as in prostitute), lay down". You apply it when you confronted with a situation that could easily be resolved but someone is making it more difficult than it needs to be, or when problems just keeps piling up and you can't solve one before the other appears. For example, you're driving along and someone is blocking the road doing a three point turn. That three point turn somehow turns into a 10 point turn and there is no sign it'll end, "Oh puta, deita-te", meaning "come on, let's get it over with" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yen_powell Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 My son has an official work document that is many many pages long and consists of nothing but Iranian insults. Most have to do with sex or people's mothers. At the top it asks for people to update the document if they hear any new ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
