What are some (non-English) idioms, and what do they mean (both literally and in context)? Odd ones, your favorite ones - any and all are welcome. :)

For example, in English I might call someone a “good egg,” meaning they’re a nice person. Or, if it’s raining heavily, I might say “it’s raining cats and dogs.”

    One of my favorite Koreanisms, is the one where when you’re drinking and you cheer “먹어 죽자!” Which literally translates to “eat die”. Essentially, it means let’s drink until we’re dead. Good times.
