I always liked "where's your business?"
Qué te importa. Come torta. Con tu hermana la gordota.
Why is it important to you, eat cake. Like your fat sister.
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"
It's "it's not your onions" c'est pas tes onions.
And the anus thing is fun but just a theory.

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.
Yea, translation is spot on
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.
That's not a common British expression, at least, perhaps someone says it.
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.
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."
It was fairly common in the US decades ago.
It's an old expression, but it checks out.

Mexico very similar to chile : "no tienes vela en el entierro".. English: you do t have a candle in this burial".
Similar to another English idiom: You don't have a dog in this fight.
"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 speaking people 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.
Unconfirm all of them
None of my business
