Ill start:
"Me cago en tus muertos" - ill shit all over your dead relatives. Spanish.
You're viewing a single thread.
Du hast doch nicht alle Tassen im Schrank - German, you don't have all your cups in the drawer.
Telling someone he is stupid via comparison to cups. Why? Who knows.
Storing cups in drawers, huh.
"Schrank" is not really a drawer. Translating it as "cupboard" would be more appropriate, I think.
Ah, maybe. My vocabulary for kitchen furniture is a bit unclear sometimes what equates to what.
Schrank would be a box with doors and several levels of storage inside.
It's like saying somebody is not the sharpest tool in the shed.
My favorite way to say that somebody is stupid is to say "Er ist dumm wie drei Meter Feldweg", translates to "he's as dumb as three meters (a bit more than 9 yards) of dirt road".
Reminds me of ones like "You're one fry short of a Happy Meal", or "You've lost some marbles". They generally imply that you've lost or are missing some mental faculties.
