What weird sayings do you have in your country?

In Scotland we probably use alot of sayings that even some English would need explained to them and I think it all dates back to when Scotland just had many rural towns. If you can you should try and get hold of someone telling a story in a thick Scottish accent because it sounds so far from the English language it would make you laugh. A cannae sell the kew and sup the milk (I can't sell the cow and have milk - the equivlent of can't have you cake and eat it) He never rides the day he saidlles - he never keeps his promise Cannae make hide nor herr - (Can't make fur or hair - meaning can't decipher it) http://www.edzell.org/Scottish_sayings.htm You should really go and check it out. And you should have fun tryin gto pronounce them. Alot of the phrases are still used in day to day talk and I am sure if you read thorugh my posts you may catch the odd word which you don't knnow as I use the Scottish equivlent naturally.
