#Hungarian expression of the day:

"A béka segge alatt" = "Under the frog's ass"

(Very, very low, in mood or in quality. I.e. "The economy is under the frog's ass.")

For more severe cases, there is "Under the burrowing frog's ass."

@TarkabarkaHolgy I absolutely adore learning literal translations of idioms. Idk why it makes so happy, but it really does!! Thank you for this, I'm sick with a cold but this made me smile 😁😁

@TarkabarkaHolgy I knew this because of Tibor Fischer's novel "Under the Frog"!
