When I sometimes think of my attitudes to certain life issues, I usually recall this idiom:
you can jump/leap (on) me
What does it mean???
And another one before I forget:
Free american. It is a phrase which nicely describes my exchanges with Novi. :):):)

Well of course because I solved the riddle which was most hilarious.

Oh I solved it alright and didn't even use anyone's name in the process so I wouldn't get another suspension by her.
That`s one of the things which makes the PF so funny. ):):):)
I have to agree to that, the gamey part, but then on the other hand they want me to donate a large sum of money to the forum for their one way street of shame.
Or like you would say, Hahahahahaha !
Here is one for you Pawian, Insisting on having the ball in one's court to control your opponent
And another
To bite the bullet
And come back here in a day or two and this post will be deleted too, if not sooner.
To bite the bullet
I only know bite the dust by British Queen rock group:
Are these idioms similar?
Free american.
Wolna amerykanka
No-holds barred situation characterized by chaos.
Some say it's related to American professional wrestling.

But don't forget to include instructions that balls are dribbled or bounced, or you will find particular unsavory character hiding in the corner, furiously liking the ball::))

You're supposed to have a translation of the idiom, you idiot.
Ugryźć kulę
Why do you suck so bad at being a good forum member?

But don't forget
My point was the bias CONTROL factor or "have one by the balls."
I don't have the option to delete her posts like she does mine when I make her look stupid.
She can shame me but when I shame her back my posts get deleted and a suspension when I push it.
Thats having "someone by the balls" means.
Or what I call, "a one way street."
You're supposed to have a translation of the idiom, you idiot.
Gee really !
I thought YOU were suppose to guess. Hoot !
Now watch someone else try to confuse the issue at hand.
Some say it's related to American professional wrestling.
Hmm, interesting. My instinct would be American economy...

My answer to it is in random post #150. I won't repost it back in this thread again.
you can jump/leap (on) me
Does this mean the same as idź sobie?
No-holds barred situation characterized by chaos.
That pretty much ties in with what I was thinking, anything goes, a free-for-all
the issue at hand.
The issue at hand is translations of idioms... can a person guess what idiom has been translated
If you can't continue with that topic then maybe go to random and rant away at the walls all you want.
My instinct would be American economy...
It was first explained to me in terms of wrestling... though other etymologies appear as well, including the idea of an 'emancipated American woman' (leading to chaos?)
My idea is that Amerykanka is not the noun 'American woman' but more an abstract noun meaning 'America(n) (stuff)'. I'm not sure if it's approved usage but I've heard people using -ka as a way of turning... situations into nouns.
as idź sobie?
Nope.
Before I forget: what slaughter! This one seems a new one in the Polish language.
I just used a Polish saying on certain poster. What is sucked from the finger ???
sucked from the finger ???
This is used when someone isn't telling the truth and has purposely fabricated a story or allegation.
has purposely fabricated a story or allegation.
Exactly and it is amaSSing some posters are doing it here when you can check everything online.

Agree 100%
election sausage
Non Poles and non Polesses, what does it mean and what is the origin of this idiom???
what does it mean and what is the origin of this idiom?
Unfulfilled promises a candidate makes to voters. Various populist ways of gaining support.
In 19th century Poland picnics by candidates for deputies in parliament took place with free food and drink ( vodka and sausages ). These were organised in order to gain support of the masses.

Exactly but I didn`t know about 19th. I know it from 20th. :):):)
Sb has just used that funny idiom: to screw sb without soap.
to screw sb without soap.
To shaft somebody in the worst possible way?
If it's what I think it is then I would translate it differently.
I have one describing one of the posters here to a T:
To be like a weathercock in the wind
I have one describing one of the posters here to a T:

Which involves brutality and ruthlessness. That`s what imperial Russians and Golden Cow trumpists are trying to perform on Ukraine.
If it's what I think it is then I would translate it differently.
There is another similar saying which also includes soap.
If it's what I think it is then I would translate it differently.
I would be interested to know how you would translate it.
To be like a weathercock in the wind
Someone easily influenced and always changing their mind/beliefs on things?
one describing one of the posters here to a T:
Novi. First he puts 10 posters on Ignore, then brings them back, then ignore again and so forth.
A new one has just come to my mind: around Maciej (male first name)
would translate it differently.
I would be interested to know how you would translate it.

I was thinking about
to walk into somebodys ass without vaseline
Someone easily influenced and always changing their mind/beliefs on things?
Yes :) Opportunist.
Novi
No
around Maciej
A specific Maciej or is the name used randomly?
to walk into somebodys ass without vaseline
Is it the definition of an a$$licker? Someone that will suck up to somebody?
I have one describing one of the posters here to a T:
I can think of a couple of posters that might apply to......
