Murder! Murder I say!

Murder says I! Bloody murder!

Murder most foul!

Seriously, man…

…these shoes are killing me.

SO tight.

And

Cameroon

"You're an old pot."

This might seem like an insult, comparing a person to what sounds like garbage. However, in Cameroon, saying this phrase is a compliment to a cook. The idea is that better food is made in an older pot, one that is seasoned and weathered with use. So, if you're an old pot, it means that your cooking is delicious.

Iran

"May a mouse eat you!"

The odd phrase is a reference to how adorable someone is. It is similar to the the way that people say a baby is cute enough to eat. To be edible and to be adorable is apparently the same thing.

France

"My little cabbage"

The exact phrasing in French is "mon petit chou." "Chou" also translates as cream puff. On one hand, you're being called a delicious pastry; on the other hand, you're a smelly vegetable. It's a hard compliment to wrap your head around.

India

"Gaja Gamini"

The translation of this phrase is "She walks like an elephant." Being compared to an elephant definitely does not have the ring of a compliment. However, that is not the case in India. The idea is that someone has a slow, graceful walk and is being recognized for it. It is not, in any way, shape or form, a comment on someone's physical size. It's all about the walk.

Spain

Even those who know basic Spanish are probably aware that "gordo/a" translates as "fat." However, don't take offense if someone tells you that you're gordo/a while in Spain. This is used as a term of endearment and is considered a pet name!
