Grandma's shitting has ended.

[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

If you’re trying to mock English idioms then those aren’t even close to the worse.

How about:

“I screwed the pooch on this one”

[–] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 1 points 23 hours ago

Hey, you're the one fucking this goat; I'm just holding the horns.

I'm not the meme was sent to mw

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 8 points 1 day ago

My great grandmother that had one that was:

Stop masturbating under that apple tree.

Maybe sounded better in Polish.

[–] roguetrick@lemmy.world 93 points 2 days ago (7 children)

Does the Pope shit in the woods?

[–] skulblaka@sh.itjust.works 41 points 2 days ago

My favorite variation on this I ever heard came from one of my coworkers a few jobs ago. I forget the exact context, but:

"Hey [Name], can you get this done?"

"Can the Pope's dick fit through a donut?"

"....I don't know?"

"Exactly 😎👉"

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 44 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (3 children)

English idiom in the vein of Polish shit idioms:

Stack wishes in one hand and shit in the other and see which one piles up first.

First time I heard a variation of it was from Mike Nelson on MST3K. He said crap instead of shit, obviously.

[–] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

My family has always used "shit in one hand and wish in the other, see which one's ready first"

[–] xorollo@leminal.space 1 points 1 day ago

This is the version I've heard, but anytime I try to use it, I forget everything after "shit in one hand" and just trail off

[–] Benjaben@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Lmao but why? Are Polish folks especially concerned about the bathroom habits of their elders?!

Edit to add: before even knowing what it meant this one was my favorite.

[–] salvaria@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The early bird in the hand that feeds is worth a thousand words

"When You're born a whore You won't die a canary." "You are getting to it like a dog to a hedgehog."

[–] LuckingFurker@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I definitely need context for "grandma's sitting has ended"

[–] SchwertImStein@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 2 days ago (3 children)

means "I am enraged" can be said e.g. by mom to children

[–] Paddzr@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Are you sure? Because to me this means someone has finished spewing bullshit. Or something annoying has finally come to an end.

Due to the respect for the elder, you let them finish, but you know it's nonsense.

If I'd had a million guesses I wouldn't have guessed that and yet it makes perfect sense, thank you
