It seems that my question got lost among other posts, so I´m going to re-post it as a separate topic.

I´m wondering if the expression "praying to the porcelain goddess" would translate well into Turkish.

If I said: "Bütün gece porselen tanrýçasýna dua ettim." would it be understood that I spent the whole night throwing up? (hypothetical example, of course ). Is there a different euphemism in Turkish to express such an ordeal?

Thanks

Gross question, but so delicately asked.

, thanks, but I still don´t know if a 1 to 1 translation would work in this case.

Maybe I won´t ever need to use it, inþallah.

What kind of porcelain are talking about here,  Chineese or French?

I never gave it much thought, especially not when I prayed to it (not that I ever did of course )

no it doesn´t make any sense in Turkish at all.

You may say "bütün gece içim dýþýma çýktý" (for vomitting )

Thank you Dilliduduk!

That´s a pity, I thought it was such a nice, poetic expression he he.

you are welcome

actually I thought of a poetic expression for this but couldn´t find
