Some idioms have almost a word for word translation into another language. For example, If you solve two problems with one action, you can use the English idiom 'to kill two birds with one stone' or in Spanish 'Matar dos pájaros de un tiro'.

However, there are many idioms that do not translate well into English. In this episode, we've collected some of the funnier ones.
