Interesting Japanese #1
‘Kare ga kingyo no fun mitai da ne.’ = ‘That guy is so clingy.’
This literally means, ‘That guy is like goldfish poo.’ If you’ve ever owned goldfish, you’ll know what they are talking about. I remember my first experience of goldfish poo quite well. I ran screaming to my mother, convinced that my favourite goldfish’s stomach had exploded and it was trailing its guts behind it like a string of sausages. Mum reassured me that it was not its guts, but rather the result of a heavy lunch and we wouldn’t be rushing the fish to surgery anytime soon.
This expression is apparently so common that it was in my textbook.

A bit like shit to a blanket I guess :)
Is that an Eastend expression or have you just had one too many Brownie sleepovers at the Museum?
