“dra ut på tiden”

Lova guld och gröna skogar

To make big promises that are hard to keep.

Glida in på en räkmacka

To get something easily, without having to work for it.

dra åt skogen

get lost, go away

sjuk som en hund

very sick

inte min kopp te

not my cup of tea

Ta skeden i vacker hand

To accept the situation and do what needs to be done.

sitta i klistret

to be in a pickle

en gång är ingen gång

once doesn't count, just this once
