The Blood Moon rises once again (Hyrulian)
The Blood Moon is rising… (Terrarian)
The Bloodmoon is rising (Solstheimian)
I feel like it’d be ‘Solstheimer’, but I can’t explain why. Just rolls off the tongue better.
I can see that. Your suggestion is a lot Solstheimer than what I wrote. Is it the Solstheimest though?
I have my bears (French)
I never heard it before, and I’m french.
We are saying “The indians are coming” though, which is racist af
Never heard it either. Missed opportunity to quote “The English are landing” (“Les anglais débarquent”, referring the Redcoats) though
Yeah it’s “I have my rules” /sj
I never heard about the bears either.
A bit of context for the Indonesian one, the way “moon” is used there is similar to month, so it’s basically “the time of the month is here” said as “datang bulan”

“I have my bears” does not exist in the french language.

A french guy.
Who would go on the internet and lie?
German: there are painters in the cellar.
Scottish: got the painters in.
Some things cross language boundaries.
Mom used to call it “hilloviikot” or “jam weeks” in English.
oh lawd he comin
Well, they do have some strong arguments.
A fire….at a SeaParks??

Are they communists because they are red or because they have seized the means of production? 🤔
the means of production
We’re clearly talking about the means of REproduction
A common one in Guatemala is “I am with Andrés, the guy visits me once a month.”
It is used because Andrés rhymes with month (mes).
I’m pretty sure no Italian ever said Garibaldi is coming, except in 1860 when he actually was coming. But you could say there weren’t any Italian at the time, as Italy was just made
I get the strong feeling that none of these are real.
The lingonberry one was pretty common where I grew up in a Swedish speaking area in Finland, so I know that one is real.
I’ve definitely used communists in the funhouse, though I’m not Danish
The Danish one is true at least. Its quite a common phrase.
I’m in Indonesia rn and I can confirmed at least the Indonesian one is true. “Datang bulan” (literally “Moon comes”) is the more formal way to say that someone has their period. But most Indonesians speak slang here which is just “Dapet” (“Get”) so someone usually says “Aku/gue lagi dapet” (“I’m getting [it] right now”). Guessing it started as a code but now everyone knows and just roll with it.
From these comments it is certainly starting to feel that way lol
Ever since my wife and I saw this, we’ve been using “the communists are in the funhouse”. I don’t care if it wasn’t real before, it’s too good not to use it now.
As a Swede, I’ve never heard lingonveckan before.
I have
Is it a generational thing, or perhaps a local thing? I’m from the Stockholm area. Never heard anything but “jag har mensen” or something along those lines.
I have, but that was like 30 years ago.
“The Reds are playing at home this week”… British sports euphemism.
