10 Amusingly Illustrated Idioms from around the World

In grad school, Lisa and I always enjoyed teaching our Mexican pal Eduardo different American idioms; the things we say and don’t give a second thought can really befuddle someone who’s a non-native speaker. In fact, these Idioms of the World totally confused me! Well, confused me and made me laugh. Some of them conjure hilarious imagery, and my personal favorite is, “not my circus, not my monkeys.” It basically means “not my problem” in Polish.

Hotel Club created 10 images that illustrate different idioms in Portuguese, French, Russian, and more. (Via Mashable)
