sayings are absolutely BIZARRE?! Take the Swedish 'Skita i det bla skapet', which roughly translates as: 'You've done a crap in the blue cupboard' ('You've messed things up now'). And in Norway, if you're slow on the uptake, the locals would suspect you were 'born behind a brown cheese' ('A vaere fodt bak en brunost'). This witty, enlightening book will give you 50 phrases you never knew you needed in your life, explaining their origin and literal translations, with gorgeous colour illustrations throughout.
