Quoting alameda

This is vulgar rude slang, right? Then I think the term "my old lady" is similar. It is sometimes shortened to "ol lady"

 

 

 The English one I really hate which is equivalent to this is "her indoors".

As if all women just stay at home ...

Quoting si++

‘Bana dokunmayan yılan bin yıl yaşasın’,

 

 

Let the snake that doesn´t bite me live for 1000 years.

 

MEans: if it doesn´t harm me, I won´t do anything about it, even if it causes you trouble.

Similar English: let sleeping dogs lie

Quoting si++

“Devletin malı deniz, yemeyen domuz”

 

 

The state has so many resources, he who doesn´t exploit it is stupid.

Literal: The state´s resources are as wide as the sea, he who doesn´t eat of it is a pig.
