    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.

    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.

  • alzymologist@sopuli.xyz ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    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.

    source
  • malware@lemmy.zip ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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*

      "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.

      source
      • malware@lemmy.zip ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        Yea, translation is spot on

        source
      • lunarul@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        don’t stick your nose into other people’s business

        That’s a slightly different expression than “mind your beeswax”. I was thinking there’s no equivalent in Romanian, “mind your business” is already simple and direct, and you can replace “business” with something context-relevant. But for “don’t stick your nose into other people’s business” there are multiple equivalent expressions: “don’t come in where your pot is not boiling”, “don’t come in like a fly in milk”, and I’m sure there are others I’m forgetting now.

        source
  • Johanno@feddit.org ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    A relative new saying in German.

    Person B: which bus?

    A: Of people who asked?!

    source
    • Kuma@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Sounds like a question I got from a classmate in grade school in the classroom after I said who I had played with (teacher asked us) “what is the color of the bus?”, I didn’t understand what he was talking about so I just looked at him confused, so I do not know the rest sadly. He got really embarrassed when the teacher answered “the color of your face” 😂

      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.

      source
      • roguetrick@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        Business is the original idiom and it didn’t originally mean “stay out of mine.” It originally meant to should make your own prosperity your primary focus. A similar modern phase that would capture what it originally meant might be “Keep hustlin.”

    In Taiwan it’s “關你屁事“

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

    • DrDystopia@lemy.lol ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Mexico very similar to chile : “no tienes vela en el entierro”… English: you do t have a candle in this burial".

    • Pumafred9@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Similar to another English idiom: You don’t have a dog in this fight.

      source
    • josefo@leminal.space ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      “Quien te dió vela en este entierro?”, en Argentina. Se puede asumir que es algo de hispanoamerica al menos. Also, maybe it’s better to translate it like “you don’t have a candle in this funeral” maybe? I don’t know if english hold a vigil for the dead like we do. Burial while is a more direct translation, I don’t think it really represents the spirit of the adage.

  • vivalapivo@lemmy.today ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    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.

    It’s not a “no one asked you”, but it is an idiom. As you can probably guess, it means more “don’t help people working against your interests”.

    So, you’d say something like that to a pro-ICE minority person, for example.

    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.
