I LOVE these. Funnier the longer I think about them. Almost serious or useful then just completely out of left field.
minus-squarekamen@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·3 days agoOne of my favourite ones in Bulgarian is “Око за око, паста за зъби”. “Око за око” is “an eye for an eye” and “паста за зъби” is literally “paste for teeth” (or what we say for “toothpaste”). The latter is technically not a saying or an idiom, but I think it still works. I believe I don’t need to explain the absurdity of it.
minus-squareEnkrod@feddit.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up5·3 days agoHaha that’s neat. An eye for an eye and paste for teeth! Reminds me if the WH40k version: Blood for the Blood God! Skulls for the Skull Throne! Milk for the Khorne Flakes! Khorne being said blood god on the skull throne.
