Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Please don't post about US Politics.
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

"Neperšokęs griovio, nesakyk 'op'“ (Don't say 'op' before you jump over the ditch) Don't brag about doing something before you did it.
"Bala nematė" (The swamp didn't see) When you are facing a dilemma and decide to just do something.
"Man šakės" (It's the pitchfork for me) Basically means “I'm fucked"
"Pagauti kampą" (To catch the corner) To understand something.
"Stogas važiuoja" (The roof is going away) Used to refer to someone who's going crazy.
"Pilstyti iš tuščio į kiaurą" (To pour from an empty one into a leaky one) to speak in meaningless statements.
"Pjauti grybą" (To cut the mushroom) to talk nonsense, or do meaningless tasks.
"Nevynioti žodžių į vatą" (Not to roll words into cotton wool) to speak directly and honestly.
"Palikti ant ledo" (To leave someone on ice) To ghost or abandon someone.
"Aiškintis santykius" (To clarify relations) To have a fight.
“Rodyti ožius" (To show the goats) To act stubborn.
Damn. You go me first. I will complement:
"Lįsti į akis" (to get into eyes): To annoy other person.
"Arabus pūsti" (to blow Arabs): To tell fairy tales (to lie).
So a much nicer way of saying "Here hold my beer and watch this"
