Meme in a format “chads vs soyaks”:
Chads - Polish idioms
Soyaks - English Idioms
English idiom in the vein of Polish shit idioms:
Stack wishes in one hand and shit in the other and see which ones piles up first.
First time I heard a variation of it was Mike Nelson on MST3K.
My family has always used “shit in one hand and wish in the other, see which one’s ready first”
This is the best thing I’ve seen online in a week.
I prefer that one to the other one that means the same thing:
If wishes were fishes, we’d have some to fry.
Is Grandma ok?!
Yeah, it means shit’s gonna hit the fan
Lmao but why? Are Polish folks especially concerned about the bathroom habits of their elders?!
To share the best idiom from ex yu: “you fucked a hedgehog”
English ones:
go take a flying fuck at a rolling donut
it’s a cunt hair away
to piss in the wind
shove it up your arse
Shit hits the fan
Up shits creek
One I like is “Not a snowball’s chance in hell”
Why don’t you take a flying fuck at the mooooooooooooon?
The early bird in the hand that feeds is worth a thousand words
The early bird flu catches the brain worm.
huh? what are the original idioms? i only ever heard the boar one (but the wolf version)
Im polish and I don’t know the last one.
Must be regional. I’m Polish and haven’t heard the first one.
huh! słyszałem tylko drugie
“When You’re born a whore You won’t die a canary.”
We’ve got “shit or get off the pot”
My great grandmother that had one that was:
Stop masturbating under that apple tree.
Maybe sounded better in Polish.
I definitely need context for “grandma’s sitting has ended”
means “I am enraged” can be said e.g. by mom to 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
So Sportsfreund, jetzt hat die Oma ausgeschissen!
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”
I’m not the meme was sent to mw
Same in German and actually I think I’ve heard that one in English too
Yes, in English we have the expression “does a bear shit in the woods?” Which is asked in response to some other question where the answer is clearly “yes.”
Hungarian idioms:
“Szüljél sünt!” / “Go and give birth to a hedgehog!”
“Ez még a kutyának se kell.” / “Not even the dog wants this.”
“Az isten bassza meg!” / “God, fuck it!”
Don’t sugarcoat it. That is originaly “szarjál sünt”, meaning shit out a hedgehog…
And if you want something more disturbing, how about “kutyából nem lesz szalonna!” (You can’t make bacon out of a dog). Or “itt a tavasz, dagad a fasz” (spring time is here, the dicks are swollen). “terhesen nem vág orrba a lengő ajtó” (the door wont slam in your face if you are pregnant).
Grandma’s shitting has ended.
oh, it has

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 😎👉”
