What are some (non-English) idioms, and what do they mean (both literally and in context)? Odd ones, your favorite ones - any and all are welcome. :)

For example, in English I might call someone a “good egg,” meaning they’re a nice person. Or, if it’s raining heavily, I might say “it’s raining cats and dogs.”

    I want to add some:

    The core of the poodle - the truth, the solution to a riddle

    Being on the wood way - Being confidently wrong

    Butter to the fish - lets be honest and come to the point

    That is like jacket and troursers - two things being the same

    This is like jumping and leaping - two actions being the same
