What are some (non-English) idioms, and what do they mean (both literally and in context)? Odd ones, your favorite ones - any and all are welcome. :)

For example, in English I might call someone a “good egg,” meaning they’re a nice person. Or, if it’s raining heavily, I might say “it’s raining cats and dogs.”

    This is a great one to see first “in the wild” while studying French. The trip from “this can’t possibly be what they’re saying” to “that was exactly what they were saying” is a wild one.
