In Wales, when it's raining hard, we say 'Mae'n bwrw hen wragedd â ffyn', which translates to 'It's raining old ladies with sticks'.

In Afrikaans, if you're going to give someone what-for, you tell them 'Ek sal jou wys waar Dawid die wortels begrawe het!' which translates to 'I'll show you where David buried the carrots!'

What are some fun idioms from your language?

@WelshPixie idioms for describing people who drive their car too fast/aggressively:
"Der fährt wie ne gesengte Sau" - He drives like a singed sow
"...wie der letzte Henker" - ...like the last hangman.

Someone who drives too slow and carefully is a "Sonntagsfahrer" - sunday driver.
