Does the Pope shit in the woods?

[–] skulblaka@sh.itjust.works 43 points 11 months ago

My favorite variation on this I ever heard came from one of my coworkers a few jobs ago. I forget the exact context, but:

"Hey [Name], can you get this done?"

"Can the Pope's dick fit through a donut?"

"....I don't know?"

"Exactly 😎👉"

English idiom in the vein of Polish shit idioms:

Stack wishes in one hand and shit in the other and see which one piles up first.

First time I heard a variation of it was from Mike Nelson on MST3K. He said crap instead of shit, obviously.

[–] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

My family has always used "shit in one hand and wish in the other, see which one's ready first"

Yeah, it means shit's gonna hit the fan

[–] Benjaben@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Lmao but why? Are Polish folks especially concerned about the bathroom habits of their elders?!

Edit to add: before even knowing what it meant this one was my favorite.

[–] Zentron@lemm.ee 33 points 11 months ago

What do they mean? They are super funny

[–] Paddzr@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Basically "they're finally done spewing crap" as in talking nonsense etc.

Must be regional. I'm Polish and haven't heard the first one.

"When You're born a whore You won't die a canary." "You are getting to it like a dog to a hedgehog."

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 12 points 11 months ago

We've got "shit or get off the pot"

[–] LuckingFurker@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I definitely need context for "grandma's sitting has ended"

[–] SchwertImStein@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 11 months ago (3 children)

means "I am enraged" can be said e.g. by mom to children

[–] LuckingFurker@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

If I'd had a million guesses I wouldn't have guessed that and yet it makes perfect sense, thank you

[–] SchwertImStein@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 11 months ago

no problemo

[–] Paddzr@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Are you sure? Because to me this means someone has finished spewing bullshit. Or something annoying has finally come to an end.

Due to the respect for the elder, you let them finish, but you know it's nonsense.

[–] SchwertImStein@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 11 months ago

yeah, you are right. "I have had enough" is a better translation (Epic reference XD)

[–] Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 3 points 11 months ago

So Sportsfreund, jetzt hat die Oma ausgeschissen!

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 9 points 11 months ago

My great grandmother that had one that was:

Stop masturbating under that apple tree.

Maybe sounded better in Polish.

[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 8 points 11 months ago (2 children)

If you’re trying to mock English idioms then those aren’t even close to the worse.

How about:

“I screwed the pooch on this one”

  1. We (greeks) have the same about bears not boars. lmao
[–] Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Same in German and actually I think I've heard that one in English too

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yes, in English we have the expression “does a bear shit in the woods?” Which is asked in response to some other question where the answer is clearly “yes.”
