The fact that in Czech we legit say “the knife in my pocket is opening” when encoutering behavior we hate or find super annoying is something so memey
Like yeah I’m really feeling like stabbing something… but I’m not gonna…. But I’m feeling like it
same in Hungarian! my favourite phrase is to say that someone has ‘knife-opening manners’ i.e. it’s like their rudeness makes your pocket knife flip open on its own accord
my other favourite phrase is harder to translate but it’s a one-word adjective used to describe someone’s face. it literally means the face in question ‘crawls into your palm’ i.e. it’s heroically difficult not to slap the person in question because their face invites it in an almost forceful way
does anyone else have a similar phrase?
We have the same saying in German! I think it fell out of fashion a little bit, but I still use it on occasion.
