In Wales, when it's raining hard, we say 'Mae'n bwrw hen wragedd â ffyn', which translates to 'It's raining old ladies with sticks'.
In Afrikaans, if you're going to give someone what-for, you tell them 'Ek sal jou wys waar Dawid die wortels begrawe het!' which translates to 'I'll show you where David buried the carrots!'
What are some fun idioms from your language?
@WelshPixie A common German idiom to show the competitiveness of something is "Jetzt geht's um die Wurst", lit. "Now it's about the sausage"
@WelshPixie Another good one I just came across again is our word for mnemonics, "Eselsbrücke", lit. "Donkey bridge".
Etymology is from donkeys being afraid of water, and to get them to cross rivers you have to build bridges that don't allow them to see the water
