Russian here. I've never heard this phrase in my life before. Maybe it's local, but definitely not common.

[-] [email protected] 28 points 2 days ago

A relative new saying in German.

Person A: Where is the bus?

Person B: which bus?

A: Of people who asked?!

As native Russian speaker, this is terribly rarely used in this full format (and it's one among many), but genuine, I've heard it IRL.

"Тебя не ебёт, так не подмахивай"

This is highly and universally derogatory, you could expect to hear it from lowlife/criminal, which, unfortunately, is what most russians are lately, though. For russian nazi population, this implies that you are gay or a slut, depending on biological sex, and that's close to your life worth nothing. For the rest, this is just something nazies would say to insult you.

The first part alone, though, is quite socially acceptable and overused. I guess, because it's lost the whole lore behind it, and showing your knowledge of whence it came from kind of reveals that it's not just an empty word, but you mean it.

I'm a bit hyperfocused on swearing, am I? Was one of my childhood's special interests.

Honestly, "mind your beeswax" is also a rare gem, but not quite so rare.

I'm from Ukraine but Russian is my native language.

No, it isn't so. Doesn't even look like a very bad translation. Just no.

Why are you leaving us hanging? (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

What would be a more accurate phrase?

[-] [email protected] 118 points 3 days ago

┬──┬◡ノ(° -°ノ) I can't afford a new table dude

[-] [email protected] 45 points 3 days ago

Nothing. There isn't any idiom for that.

[-] [email protected] 32 points 3 days ago

You don’t a single idiom for “mind your own business”? Wild, but ok.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Well there is the "not your doggy business" (as in, you're the dog/bitch, and this is not your fucking business), but it's rarely used now and it's also not super special

French one is actually mostly correct, but the expression is not used that much

[-] [email protected] 30 points 3 days ago

I use it very often. It might be a region thing. I am from the north.

I guess 'Nobody asked you' isn't English?

As an Arabic speaker I have never heard of number 3, though Arabic is more like forty languages in a trench coat so that's not saying much.

[-] [email protected] 69 points 3 days ago

I was surprised "Arabic" was this loosely defined when "Chilean Spanish" was very specifically defined immediately following

[-] [email protected] 24 points 3 days ago

This meme was brought to you by the Chilean gang

[-] [email protected] 33 points 3 days ago

Arabic is more like forty languages in a trench coat

It has so much in common with English

[-] [email protected] 37 points 3 days ago

Or any language spoken over a wide geographical area

In Denmark, the youngsters have recently been saying "spurgt?" which translates to "asked?" - as in "were you asked?". Somehow the brevity and linguistic lazyness makes it even more infuriating.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

I actually ...i would probably do this.

Depends on the region. In my native it was popular to say ебало завали, which loosely translates into "collapse your mouth" where mouth is used in a sense where it's an organ for penetration during sex.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 2 days ago

Basically, "Shut your dick hole," correct?

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago
[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Two phrases I’ve used that roughly correlate:

“Shut your cock holster” and

“Shut your man pleaser”

where both refer to the mouth.

[-] DominatorX1 2 points 2 days ago

I'm sorry but your native people are terrible at this.

[-] [email protected] 53 points 3 days ago

German: That's not your beer./ That concerns you like damp dirt./ That can walk by your ass.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago

It’s all sausage to me.

I've always been partial to "This is an A -- B conversation, so C your way out."

Apparently the Argentine equivalent is something like “take your hat off, you’re not in this photo”

[-] [email protected] 26 points 3 days ago

In Taiwan it's “關你屁事“

Which is mildly translated to "Care about your fart situation"

This is pretty derogatory. I wouldn't use it unless it's with your friends messing around.

Explanation for the french one : onion is an old slang for anus. So "mind your own onions" is an old-fashioned way to say "mind your own ass"

I will wiggle by ass on the camel & make signals with my candle whilst lubricating my onions with beeswax for you to fuck as I please, ok?!?!!

[-] [email protected] 32 points 3 days ago

First time seeing this. Much more common one is "тебя ебать не должно" or a version without swearing: "не суй свой нос в чужие дела*

[-] [email protected] 37 points 3 days ago

"First time seeing this. Much more common one is "you shouldn't give a fuck" or a version without swearing: "don't stick your nose into other people's business*"

Is that an accurate translation? If so... Very similar to sayings in the U.S.

That's not a common British expression, at least, perhaps someone says it.

[-] [email protected] 22 points 3 days ago

It was fairly common in the US decades ago, but you don't hear it as much now. You're more likely to hear it with "business" instead of "beeswax" when you do.

(Ireland) Wind yer neck in

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago

The Scouse British dialect has a nice term for this: "Geg out". As opposed to "Fred is gegging in", used when someone is trying to implicate themselves or become part of the group/conversation.
Someone involving themselves when they shouldn't be? Two syllables: Geg. Out.
No idea where it comes from but I heard it a lot in my youth. Forsomereason.
