Lost in translation?

Have you ever heard these expressions in #Luxembourg before?

🧀 Ech hunn de Kéis!
➡️ I have the cheese! It means “I’ve had enough!”

🐶 Du falschen Hond!
➡️ You insincere dog! If a Luxembourgish person calls you a “falschen Hond,” they probably feel very betrayed.

🥖 Du hues eng mat der Broutschéiss!
➡️ “You were hit with a bread peel”! I.e. you’re acting crazy.

🤣 A comprehensive list can be found on the RTL Today website.
