Game - guess Polish idioms/sayings in direct English translation - part 2

Think of Latin roots...

@mafketis
to be honest I never heard anyone saying this in Polish ("twoja racja, mój spokój"?)

I'm not sure if I've heard it either (it was more described to me as something some people say....).

anyway, for feniks: what does it mean?

Is it the letting go of pointless arguments that lead nowhere, peace is valued more than the need to being proved right?

If I'm wrong then I'm clueless....

Whatever.......

Yeah, you've got it...

If you say so

A new one:

To stand on eyelashes

Maybe a local saying however that is not an idioms.

It means to rise to ones feet or possibly to defend one self or others.
Do not let someone treat you poorly.

It is a Polish idiom and none of your definitions are correct.

It means to go above and beyond, do everything possible to achieve a particular goal.

Yes! I figured that you would easily get it....

They are all correct even if you don't know it.
Actually it could have other meanings depending on the context.
For example, to fail to meet someone when you promised to.
See Love, this is why I get paid the big money.
Listen and learn

Nope.

I was wondering if it was something like treading on eggshells. It does help to hear things in context though.

Yup
It's not necessarily a literal action, but rather a figurative way of describing a persons efforts to achieve something difficult too.

I doubt if it's every been used literally....

that said, it does not mean...


It means to use everything at one's disposal (and then some) to achieve a particular goal.

You are wrong. We're all wrong sometimes.

Only narcissists are never wrong (in their own demented minds).

NO, REALLY !
It is physically impossible to stand on your eye lashes literally.
The phrase is likely a metaphoric or figurative expression, potentially used to describe a situation where something is extremely small or delicate or something is impossible or absurd.
So doubt all you want to as it really makes no difference to me that your opinion is so limited.

It is physically possible.

You can certainly stand on your eyelashes. You can stand on other people's too. Whole heaps of eyelashes.

So you were as always wrong since it is literally possible.

Then post a picture of yourself standing on your eye lashes.
Otherwise, Buzz Off.
You've been told.

Cut them off, just for you?

That's a bit of a tall order isn't it.... You have to use your imagination. Ask your wife for tips on that.

Here's a Polish idiom that fits the situation. That your head is small.

I knew you couldn't post such a picture and were just all talk Mr. Twister.
Here is an American idiom that fits your situation, "Stupid is as stupid does".

Here you are.

Anyway, back to the topic: That your head is small.

I see no eye lashes and if you had posted any they most likely would be off a stray dog.
Anyway, back to the topic Mr. Twister: You've been told.

Got x-ray eyes, have you?

You want standing on them you get standing on them.

Był taka prośba źe głowa mała.

What about There was to himself a boy. or There was to herself a girl?

What's going on?

nb 'a boy' and 'a girl' can be replaced by other nouns....

That is a question for you, Mr. Twister

When ?

To taka radość, żeby cię drażnić.

Only those who know Polish idioms (or know how to translate English idioms into Polish) get to ask questions here.

That disqualifies you.

Answer the latest riddle or be quiet.

To repeat my last question.....
