Born on this day (probably) in 1564, William Shakespeare, who wrote at least 37 plays, 154 sonnets and numerous poems. And he acted in many plays too. But, if he were alive today, I bet the only thing people would want to ask him is this… “How the hell have you lived this long?”

A Swedish word for cramming for exams is korvstoppning, or “stuffing sausages.” A German version is büffeln, or “to buffalo.” There’s also a colloquial (and crass) German term for memorising facts that are forgotten right after the exam: Bulemielernen. It means “bulimia learning”

@AdamCSharp asked a native German speaker and Zehenbeeren (toe berries) are a thing
@AdamCSharp Small pillows in Polish too 🐾😊
@AdamCSharp And #Greek! μαξιλαράκι = small pillow
@AdamCSharp For once, English has one of the more poetic names!
@AdamCSharp “Licking the dirty pillows”
@AdamCSharp Same in Bulgarian but we use the same word for human finger pads. It's just a metonymic use of the word for small pillow that's not species-specific
@AdamCSharp Also almohadillas in Spanish (little pillows)
Swedish: stepping pads (trampdynor)

In Norwegian, the word FART means speed, and the word SMELL can mean crash or collision, which is the source of this multilingual joke (and hopefully one day an official road safety slogan)… “it’s not the fart that kills you, it’s the smell”
@AdamCSharp In the Caribbean they used to be called sleeping policeman. From your list it appears that the name might've been inherited from Spain.
@AdamCSharp Wow Spanish had the same idiom meaning with Indonesian, interesting.
