“It’s like trying to herd cats.”
“I’m so hungry, I could eat the ass out of a low flying duck.” “Fuck me dead.”
- Australia
Might not be idioms, but they do put some weird images in to one’s mind.
Keep your eyes peeled.
It’s raining cats and dogs.
And you thought hail could be challenging…
I was caught in a massive rain storm in South Dakota once and it rained frogs
FROGS, EVERYTHING COVERED IN LITTLE FROGS
it was amazing and crazy and I also thought I was going mad
Seems like fish and frogs are the main types of animal rain
Fish: global, dozens of entries
Frogs/toads: global, dozen entriesSpiders: 3 entries, Australia, Brazil, Australia.
And just like that, Brazil is off my travel list
A bomb’s gone off in Battersea.
(Stolen from mock the week.)
Pick someone’s brain probably ranks quite high on psycho scale
“Well, fuck me runnin’.” would certainly be…logistically challenging.
“Dick me dead and bury me pregnant” would cause some interesting situations
No! I swear they LITERALLY asked for it!
That’s a new one for me.

You’d never really get those ducks in a row, but it would be entertaining to watch you try.
Don’t piss on my leg and tell me it’s raining.
Also, don’t blow smoke up my ass.
That link is going to stay blue.
I think I’m going to take a break from the internet for a while…
He’s really getting under my skin. I think I will go over there and give him a piece of my mind.
Relevant xkcd (kind of)
The full idiom of “speak of the devil and he doth appear” seems like it would be chaotic and bizarre.
Like, he would have just appeared for you.
Oh shit, and bow he’s here.
“Earworm”
Like, get it out, please.
This question reminds me of an exercise my elementary school class did once. We were told to pick an idiom and draw it literally.
I don’t remember what I picked, but my friend drew her mom’s favorite saying, “You drive me up the wall!” I can still vividly see the drawing of a lady with her eyes bugging out, driving vertically up a living room wall.
Chaotic: Break a leg.
Bizarre: When life give you lemons…
…have a lemon party!
Break a leg is what I thought first. A funny chaotic one would be “a soup sandwich”
Lend me your ear
