Newborn son Magyar: Újszölött fiú (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Thanks to Sidey for this one. It might lose a little something in the translation if English is not your first language, so apologies for that.
I went to visit my friend today. His wife was sat there with their newborn baby. She asked if I’d like to wind it.
I thought that was a bit harsh so I gave it a dead leg instead.

UPDATE:
They say a joke’s not funny if you have to explain it, but here goes:
-
Winding the baby: rubbing its back/tummy to make it vomit all over your best top.
-
Winding a person: hitting them in the stomach so they can’t breathe and are in a lot of pain…kind of like when I give the Hub an affectionate pat on the belly.
-
Dead leg: get a friend to hit your thigh, hard, with the side of a fist. Try to walk. Pick yourself up off the floor and groan in pain.
I think this might need a bit of translation!
Now up!
Uh oh ! I thought (American, not the Queen’s) English was my first language. I’m with jmgoyder…HELP with translation!♥.
Peace,
Siggi in Downeast Maine
I’ve included one in the post
No translation needed here
LOL
Oh, crikey….
My family was from England & Scotland, so I was brought up with a lot of English expressions & I need a translation too! Does this have something to do with burping the baby? And what is a dead leg?
Check the update I’ve included
Got it now, thanks for the translation. Will have to add that to “knock me up at 8, pram, bubble & squeek” & the other Englishisms I have on hand.
Fun, aren’t they?
…. this I didn’t get at all .. but I’m a foreigner *smile .
The update should explain
I looked for the update .. couldn’t find it.
It’s underneath the joke.
Sorry, I still don’t get … but as I said – I’m Swedish. *laughter
Never mind! Send me a CLEAN Swedish joke and I’ll post it
I will see what I have … *smile ..
LOL I must be having a good day. I got it first time
Good
Hmmm…I must be a tad daft.
Never
whew….thank goodness we do speak English here in Canada…..I might have been a bit worried.
you should join my Tuesday Coffee Chat next week: the topic will be different sayings, slangs and manner of speech. It would be so interesting to see British, Aussie, Canadian and American versions of “English”.
my keyboard of course contains the letter “u”….which can be quite problematic for Windows Spell check. LOL
I have gotten to the point where I just leave the U out of my words rather than fight with spell check.
I’ll try to remember
