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

what else did you think that I'd leave an imprint with?

Flip flop instead of a boot??? hahaha

to kick out,

Of course not. You didn`t learn Polish enough. Back to your books, darling. :):):)

You don't leave a footprint

BS. Like the one you tried to "teach" me about months ago. When I proved you wrong, you got so furious that the posts containing our exchange were deleted. Ha!!!.

Of course you can say that a boot leaves a footprint. Check your internets. :):):)

If court the prosecution

Darling, we are not in the court and Feniks isn`t a prosecutor. We are ordinary people and monkeys attending a free forum. . :):):)

This conversation with decent Feniks and two azholes brings up another idiom in my mind:
Fall onto the tree!!! hahahaha

What is the meaning??? Besides, why is it convoluted????

Fall onto the tree!!!

Now it is another time I am educating native English speakers how to use their language. It is simply amasing!!!!

And I must say it is quite logical. Coz if you try, you can use a boot to leave another imprint than with its bottom part aka sole. E..g, you can press the upper part of the boot with laces and their rings against sb`s face, thus leaving an imprint on it.

Footprint is a very accurate expression, then.

Not at all,Jerzy, your post just confuses the issue due to your poor English.

No, darling, you say so out of overwhelming malice coz your pathetic Polish doesn`t allow you to participate in this guessing game. Just like those two other azholes who remind me of hyenas. Three of you come here like smelly hyenas and a rat to steal chunks of meat from the solved riddle prey hunted in pain by the true lioness aka Feniks. Ha!!!! :):):)

We were talking about the English, not the Polish you posted. You missed the nuances.

On the ground, not on a person. Sorry dear, but that's how English works.

When I proved you wrong

No idea what you're on about. What was the issue? We can discuss it again. Whatever it is, I'll be right and you won't.
pawian  221 | 25486
21 Nov 2024   #159
We were talking

BS. Stop twisting now. It is useless.

not on a person.

Another bs. Ha!!!

What was the issue?

Never mind. You claimed demobilise wasn`t used like I did and in my next post I proved it is.
Similarly, you are peddling false statements about footprints not being footprints now. :):):) AmaSSing!!!
Atch  23 | 4294

Another bs. Ha!!!

It's absolutely true. I wonder what sort of rubbish you teach your students. You don't leave footprints on a person. You can only leave 'a footprint' on a person in the abstract sense, not literally. In an assault you leave the imprint of your footwear. Take the shame.

Never mind.

Oh, let's mind. Give me the sentence again please.

you should have said footprint instead of an imprint. Imprint can be left with various objects

This is the original question and you are wrong. In context (of boots) imprint was a very acceptable answer. Maybe not the optimal one but not incorrect.

You don't leave footprints on a person.

You do if you talk about scene in a cartoon. Otherwise I'm with you.
I think those years he was a teacher went to his head, and he believed himself to be a new Shakespeare. LOL!

Fall onto the tree!!

Maf has said in his post 152 that it means 'get lost' and it's convoluted because you can't fall upwards onto a tree.

has said

Please, don`t mention azholing hyenas to me coz I am not going to comment on such posts. Say it in your own words. :):):)

PS. I find it utterly amassing that a pack of hyenas have leapt onto the rotting carcass of an old riddle only after I had jokingly nitpicked at the Lioness` guess and she "complained" in a similar fashion. :):):)
Hey, stinkers, you lack intelligence to do the guessing. You are only able to devour rotten chunks from the cadaver hunted down by the Lioness. Ha!!!

NO HYENAS!!!! The leading motto of this thread.

But if you insist on coming, I will still deal with you in the traditional manner. :):):)

new Shakespeare.

Darling, as an Old Soul, I do indeed acquire a vague feeling at times that I reincarnated from Shakespeare as well. :):):)

Say it in your own words. :):):)

Now you're being childish. I said what I had to say about this in post 116. If maf is right then he should take the credit.

I would just like the insults to stop and carry on with what is an interesting thread. At this rate I will be the only one participating :(:(
pawian  221 | 25486
23 Nov 2024   #167
childish.

Exactly!!!!! Ask Novi or johhny what they always say about me. hahahaha buhahaha

should take the credit.

I don`t care who takes the credit, just don`t want to read certain azholes` output on my precious riddles. Ha!!! I said what I needed to say and the matter is closed. Howgh!!!! :):):)
I suggest you make some kind of a deal with maf. You can mention its contribution later, after I corroborate the guess. I have nothing against. :):):):)

insults

What insults??? Since when is telling the truth about blanket wetting hyenas an insult???? :):):)

I will be the only one participating

Plus Alien, Lena and a few others. I have nothing against if hyenas stay away. Simple.
pawian  221 | 25486

Ask Novi or johhny what they always say about me.

And is it strange that I try to live up to their theories and expectations about me coz I want to please them, as I always do to decent people????
pawian  221 | 25486

You sound as if sb sprinkled your tail with pepper...

What does it mean???

Maf and Jon contribute more often than the others and I'd like them to carry on doing so or this thread really will die a death. They're not hyenas and I'm tired of all the arguments.
pawian  221 | 25486
24 Nov 2024   #171
I'm tired of all the arguments.

Exactly!!! Me, too. Tell it to hyenas who provoke them when they fall on the carcass of an already solved riddle to devour chunks of rotten meat from it. Yuk!!!!! I prefer those stinkers keep away. :):):)

this thread really will die a death

It will if I stop posting. But I am not going to. So, don`t worry about the thread and do as I said with what maf tells you and which I can`t read coz his posts don`t show up on my home comp.

One riddle is pending in 169 but instead of a new one, I will provide you with the online dictionary of Polish slang
and collouqial speech

miejski.pl/a-0.html
which contains mostly single words but longer idioms are also available.

E.g, what does it mean when you inform sb?:
In the name of principles, madafaka!!!
mafketis  38 | 11058

You're about to shoot them for sleeping with your..... lover..... (no inferences, no judgement, I just wanted to make it more gender neutral)

Now thinking of a more idiomatic translation.... maybe "It's the principle (of the thing)." or even "you broke the code".... (maybe too modern).

I wonder if it's used in other contexts now and other types of betrayal....

With two riddles pending, here`s another one:
to bend over onto sb.

Be careful, it`s tricky.

it's tricky unless you know the language :P

unless you know the language

Of course, gumi, but this thread is for forum foreigners who usually don`t at all or they do but basically or they do on average level. Without pointing fingers at anyone here. :):):)
OP Feniks  1 | 591
24 Nov 2024   #177
do as I said with what maf tells you

I don't respond well to being told what to do especially when you only have to read what he's written. I'm not playing games.

If you unblock him you will see that he's answered your riddle in #172
pawian  221 | 25486

I'm not playing games.

Pity coz I love playing games!!!! All apes do! :):):) That`s why I contribute so often in this thread. Ha!!!

If you

I earnestly wish I could but I can`t coz I was playing games with the blocking lever and it accidentally broke! I am unable to fix it. :(:(:(:(

I don't respond well to being told what to do

That`s so Polish!!! Amasing!

A new one and two are still pending:
To give advice.

It is tricky of course.

To give advice.

To manage, to be able to handle something
