the characters used to be a simple pictogram of what it means but it has been mordenised till it no longer really looks like what it originally did.

[Statistical Anomaly]

Alas, I only know English ones, but here's a couple of my favorites:
to beat a dead horse=persist in a pointless action
hotter than a whore in church=very sweaty

I thought it was flogging a dead horse, another one is "locking the door after the horse has bolted" This means too little too late.

[Conte Cruella]

I only know English ones.

--"Two fries short of a happy meal."
--"Not the sharpest tool in the shed."
--"Not the brightest crayon in the box."

Pretty much means you're a little slow.

--"You hit the nail on the head."
--"Got it in one."

You've figured it out.

I suddenly can't think of any more.

[High Maintenance x]

In chinese, there's one my parents use when I'm being bad. crying

I'll beat your a** till a flower comes out.

Lmao

[Midare]

Only one coming to midn thatI don't think has been said:

"Like tits on a boar" - Something with no use.

[[-JellyFish-]]

||-{Some french idioms that I use and find funny:
"péter un cable/péter les plombs": to be pissed off, to get angry
"péter plus haut que son cul": to be uptight
"y a pas le feu au lac": it's a swiss expression. It means that you're not in a hurry.

Someone already mentioned 'like tits on a bull'. Very similar. 3nodding

[Turbo Polka Babe]

The only one that I can think of in Spanish is "Manos a la obra", which translates literally to, hands to work. It means, "Let's get to work!"

Pretty simple. :]

[ChemiKills]

A few brazilian / portuguese ones:

"You can get your little horse off the rain" - Give up, it's not going to happen

"To have your a*****e in your hand" - To be really scared, usually of getting caught for something wrong you did XD

"To be thinking of the lamb's death" - To act distracted, unfocused.

"What doesn't kill you, makes you fatter" - An excuse to eat something that fell on the floor, or might have gone bad or whatever.

"Raining on wet ground" - Being redundant

"Go see if I'm standing there, by the end of street" - Go away, you're pissing me off

[GaijinGuy36]

"Drunk as a skunk": To be really wasted. Which is weird, because skunks don't drink liquor. My thought is, it's just the rhyme.
