I recently read a comment on a thread that mentioned a Turkish 'saying'. I remember thinking it was the same as the english one. So, with this in mind, perhaps members would like to share Turkish and/or english idioms/sayings. If you know of any common ones please share.

I will "start the ball rolling" :

to kick the bucket = to die

sorry to be so morbid

popped his clogs - to die (also)

hehe

down in the dumps - to be sad

whatever floats your boat - whatever interests you/works for you/makes you happy

Feeling blue = feeling sad

nalları dikmek (you say it when someone has died, like kicked the bucket)

Above board - to do something legally

You make my blood boil - You make me very angry
Save face - to protect ones reputation
cry over spilt milk - crying over nothing serious

haydan gelen huya gider = easy come easy go
it ürür kervan yürür = dogs bark, caravan goes
bir taşla iki kuş vurmak = to kill two birds with one stone
