A slang Finnish way of saying “long, long ago” is vuonna nakki ja muusi, or “in the year of sausage and mashed potatoes.”

And a Finnish way of saying “don’t worry about it” or “take your time” is älä hättäile, keitämmä potut. It means “no rush, let’s cook some spuds”

There’s an old Danish phrase that was once used as an equivalent to “that’s not my cup of tea” (sadly rarely used in that context these days). The phrase is hvad der nu måtte hyppe mine kartofler, or “it doesn’t hoe my potatoes”

In Swedish if you’ve had enough of someone, or want to tell them they’re done for, you can use the expression nu har du satt din sista potatis. It means “now you’ve planted your last potato”

There’s a way of saying “zero fucks given” in some parts of west Wales that translates to “I care not a potato”

A French expression about feeling good (or being full of beans) is j'ai la patate, which means “I have the potato”

One of the best French insults I’ve ever heard is t'es une pomme de terre avec le visage d'un cochon d'inde. It means “you are a potato with the face of a guinea pig”

A Latvian phrase similar to “liar, liar, pants on fire” is the rhyming melis, melis, kartupelis. It means “liar, liar, potato”
