Some other Swedish ones:
Jam in the pancake crease - Sylt i plättväcket (plätt(ar) is a small kind of pancake)
Closed for the week - Stängt för veckan
Old Lady red - Tant röd
The misery - Eländet
Month crazy - MånadsgalenIn Korea, they refer to it as “magic” time. Take that as you will.
Are they communists because they are red or because they have seized the means of production? 🤔
“The Reds are playing at home this week”… British sports euphemism.
Do Brits also beat their wives when they’re on their periods, or just when their football team wins/loses?
The moon what?
I get the strong feeling that none of these are real.
The Danish one is true at least. Its quite a common phrase.
The lingonberry one was pretty common where I grew up in a Swedish speaking area in Finland, so I know that one is real.
I’ve definitely used communists in the funhouse, though I’m not Danish
From these comments it is certainly starting to feel that way lol
Ever since my wife and I saw this, we’ve been using “the communists are in the funhouse”. I don’t care if it wasn’t real before, it’s too good not to use it now.
Communists in the funhouse is what I call it when I let the homies hit
Well, I am french and I’ve never heard the phrase “I have my bears”…
“I have my bears” does not exist in the french language.

Who would go on the internet and lie?
In Icelandic you say you’re on tour
oh lawd he comin
Dunno if it has some funny, wide-area name in my country but my parner and her mother simply say aunt visits them. xD
There’s a Southpark episode where aunt Flo visits, and they say she visits every month and stays for a week. So I guess it’s a common saying in USA, at least.
Japanese flag week - My friend at uni
Well, they do have some strong arguments.
A fire….at a SeaParks??
I have my bears (French)
I never heard it before, and I’m french.
We are saying “The indians are coming” though, which is racist af
Never heard it either. Missed opportunity to quote “The English are landing” (“Les anglais débarquent”, referring the Redcoats) though
Yeah it’s “I have my rules” /sj
I never heard about the bears either.
