My Dutch neighbor here in the U.S. uses a couple of expressions that I appreciate. I’m not sure if these are popular sayings or simply clever phrases. Fun with words, either way.
-
They bought it “for an apple and an egg.” Meaning that something was had for a cheap price.
-
“The dog won’t eat it.” She uses this to refer to money or something else whose practical value is overrated—it can’t be eaten.
