The Blood Moon rises once again (Hyrulian)
German: there are painters in the cellar.

Mom used to call it “hilloviikot” or “jam weeks” in English.
Well, they do have some strong arguments.
A fire….at a SeaParks??
I’m pretty sure no Italian ever said Garibaldi is coming, except in 1860 when he actually was coming. But you could say there weren’t any Italian at the time, as Italy was just made
Japanese flag week - My friend at uni
A common one in Guatemala is “I am with Andrés, the guy visits me once a month.”
It is used because Andrés rhymes with month (mes).
Are they communists because they are red or because they have seized the means of production? 🤔
the means of production
We’re clearly talking about the means of REproduction
Garibaldi is coming is oddly menacing.
Well, I am french and I’ve never heard the phrase “I have my bears”…
What is the Danish one in Danish?

“Kommunister i lysthuset”
A direct translation of “lysthus” would be gazebo but “lyst” can also be translated to “lust” or “desire”.
Takktakk!
No one understands danish, not even danes.

Aunt Irma’s visiting.
I get the strong feeling that none of these are real.
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
The Danish one is true at least. Its quite a common phrase.
I’m in Indonesia rn and I can confirmed at least the Indonesian one is true. “Datang bulan” (literally “Moon comes”) is the more formal way to say that someone has their period. But most Indonesians speak slang here which is just “Dapet” (“Get”) so someone usually says “Aku/gue lagi dapet” (“I’m getting [it] right now”). Guessing it started as a code but now everyone knows and just roll with it.
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.
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.
