Summary:

"I’m not hanging noodles on your ears." In Moscow, this curious, engagingly colorful assertion is common parlance, but unless you’re Russian your reaction is probably "Say what?" The same idea in English is equally odd: "I’m not pulling your leg." Both mean: Believe me.

As author Jag Bhalla demonstrates, these amusing, often hilarious phrases provide a unique perspective on how different cultures perceive and describe the world. Organized by theme—food, love, romance, and many more—they embody cultural traditions and attitudes, capture linguistic nuance, and shed fascinating light on "the whole ball of wax." For example, when English-speakers are hard at work, we’re "nose to the grindstone," but industrious Chinese toil "with liver and brains spilled on the ground" and busy Indians have "no time to die."

If you’re already fluent in 10 languages, you probably won’t need this book, but you’ll "get a kick out of it" anyhow; for the rest of us, it’s a must. Either way, this surprising, often thought-provoking little tome is gift-friendly in appearance, a perfect impulse buy for word lovers, travelers, and anyone else who enjoys looking at life in a riotous, unusual way. And we’re not hanging noodles from your ear.

I'm originally from Denmark and work with people from all over the world. We have lunch together on Fridays to compare sayings from all over. Some of them have become part of out every day communications. I't a lot of fun.

Interesting Niche Book
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5

I found this book to be fun and interesting. It is fun to read U.S. idiom books, but it was very interesting to read idioms from other countries. I love the cover, it makes for a perfect coffee-table book because it instantly evokes interest. Suddenly, everyone will be huddled around the book giggling and commenting on the idioms. You will enjoy this one, it is well put-together.

Have Fun!

Funny and informative
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5

This is a great little book that allows the reader to peak into other cultures and learn about their idiomatic expressions. This is not a foreign language phrase book, as all of the phrases have been translated into English. It's a quick and delightful read.

fun but...
Customer Rating:  Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3

This was a fun, quick read (actually, more like browsing a catalog). Only problem was that I asked a number of friends who hailed from many of the nations listed in the book about the local idioms listed in the volume and often got a curious look--like, I've never heard that one myself. Maybe things got lost in translation. Anyway, I think this would be a perfect book to have on a coffee table for a party--people would browse through and shout out different ones with joy. Nice job!

A Fun Read
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5

I found this book very interesting and entertaining. The only thing that would have made it better, was if he had used all the entries in a typical sentence to aid in understanding usage.
