"Bacon" is not really correct. "Speck" is the fatty part of bacon, therefore you can also refer to you belly fat as "Speck" instead of "Fett" (fat). Literal translation: grief fat

It should be written "wurst" instead of "Wurst". The noun Wurst means Sausage but the adjective wurst means it doesn't matter. (In German all nouns start with an uppercase letter.)

in italy, instead of healthy as a horse, they say healthy as a fish. an american once mocked my paesana, saying that it was stupid to change it to a fish, and she looked dead at him and said "I don't know, there's an awful lot of sick/dying horse movies, but i've never seen a fish sneeze"
Andreas Wærholm 5 years ago
It's the same in Norwegian, because both words for "healthy" and "fish", rhymes: Frisk som en fisk.

Two of my favorite German idioms are missing, both of which have no short English equivalent. One is "innerer Schweinehund" (lit. inner pig-dog), roughly meaning "the lazy part of oneself". Procrastinating, staying inside when it's raining, taking he car instead of walking... that's all the doing of your "inner pig-dog" :) The other one is "eierlegende Wollmilchsau" (lit. egg-laying wool milk sow), meaning something that a) does and has everything you want and b) doesn't exist (not sure if "unicorn" refers to quite the same).

Im Italian so we have plenty of expressions that roughly translated means something different, however my favourite is french : "Les chiens aboient, la caravane passe" which is a sentence used to mean when an individual stick with his opinion, lead on uncaring of comments.
