That really twists my nipple...

[Mandrill]

Just as in other countries the simple inhabitants of Mandrill have their own local wisdoms and sayings to express themselfs, like:

"When the dog barks, we'll have some chocolat."
which means: I'll be late tonight (yes, I don't get it either..)

or:

"That really twists my nipple!"
which means: do I have to spell it out to you..

So, people, I invite you all to share here the great inscrutablilities of your people and try to explain it, no matter how twisted your population thinks

[Anceltierre]

My citizens say stuff like

"Hoppity hop and right over there"
Translation, Just a hop, a jump and a skip away

"McCheaty/McCheat"=Fraud
"Its a twirlly gig"=Fomal party

More to come...

"The world is a green place and we are all people in it"

Meaning: Calm down and have a beer

"Moving like a buttered Cat"

Meaning: Immobile, it derives from a branch of Feline Physics, called the Heidelberg Cat Vs Toast Anti-Gravity Theory recently proved by the Armorfiend Science Directorate, as a cat always lands on it's feet and toast always lands buttered side down, if one attaches a piece of buttered toast to the back of a cat and drop it, it will remain suspended at that point spinning endlessly.

The Armorfiend Science Directorate is attempting to develop this into a power source for vehicles, they are also looking into the mind reading capabilities or felines, repetitive reincarnation of the household moggy and also harnessing the bad luck of black cats as a weapon, keep you posted.

"At least we are at the back and have no money"

Meaning: Nothing to Lose, the Motto of the Armorfiend Special Forces, the Explosive Eggs Service (EES) well known for going on suicide missions and surviving.

[EUtopia]

Well, living with a Geordie tends to make these phrases familiar.

Yeah, sorry for that, 'hi' in my country (real one, I mean) means like an outburst of laughter, like 'ha ha'...sorry people...
