." 1.I just thought about something I sometimes happen to encounter when writing to someone from another country. I like to use sayings that fit to certain situations, but I frequently had to learn that they are expressed in a different way then.

For example I know a saying that is - translated of course:

I hit two flies with one clap. - But a friend from Australia wrote to me: So I killed two birds with one stone. - "Hey, that's fairly more brutal" I thought.

And just a minute ago I wanted to use the saying:
I couldn't see the forest because of all those trees. - However, I do not know whether this saying exists at all in English!

2-in german we use "having two left hands"
or also "having two left feet" if someone is absolutely unable to dance :-/

3-My mother use to say " Boys are like buses . There's always another one coming along :P
.My mother use to say " Boys are like buses . There's always another one coming along

4-Here in New Zealand we often use "if you hold your tongue right", meaning the same thing |-|

5.I've heard my husband's friends use the term "crank my tractor" when they like something or think a woman's good looking. :))

6.Please U2U me when you receive a card from me.

7.in english, it's raining cats and dogs
in belgium it's raining old woman..." XX(
