It's Nice That

Ah idioms, they’re strange old things. In Iceland if someone “takes you to the bakery” they’re not buying you a sweet treat but giving you a massive telling off. To express the idea that all good things must come to an end, Germans will announce, “Everything has one end, only the sausage has two”. The Swedes win the prize for some of the most peculiar sayings. For example, if someone gets into a good situation without having to work for it, they “slid in on a shrimp sandwich” or if you’re trying to squeeze a loved around a crowded table you might say warmly, “If there’s room in the heart, there’s room for the ass.”
