Literally, "Then eat all of that sh*t!"\n\nIt's not very nice, whomever told you that. The phrase doesn't translate perfectly, but you get the meaning...

Good question...\n\nThe work is actually a theme song to a British TV show called "The One Game".  The composer is Nigel Hess.  The language is not Welsh, it's made up.  Hence the difficulty in finding an English translation.  In fact, there may not be a translation.  It may simply be neat sounding words with no meaning.  That I don't know.  I'm sure you could email Nigel Hess and ask him.  http://www.myramusic.co.uk/

My favorite (and the longest one I know) comes from the Middle Ages, and is in Latin.  Saint Martin was travelling through France to Rome.  While on the road, he encountered the Devil, who began to tease him relentlessly.  After a few miles of this treatment, Saint Martin was so incensed that he beat Satan with his walking stick -- upon which Satan turned into a donkey.\n\nThis is why it's accurate to describe the devil as a French A**.  Just kidding.\n\nIn any case, upon his transformation, the Devil cried:\n\nSigna te signa; temere me tangis et angis;\nRoma tibi subito motibus ibit Amor.\n\nThis is a palindrome, and means "Make the sign of the cross and do it again; you vex and bother me without reason.  Soon you will reach Rome, the object of your wishes."  Seeing a ripe opportunity, Saint Martin jumped on the donkey's back and rode him to the Eternal City (and the donkey became Pope!  Just kidding).\n\nTo this you might reply: "Devil never even lived."  As for the author, he was distracted.  "God, a red nugget!  A fat egg under a dog!"  -- this is what I heard he said last.

It is Welsh and I think it means 'stupid','emptyheaded', 'not all there",etc.\n\nI am a saesneg,but from my sojourns I think the literal translation is 'not a full yard'.\n\nOur ocker mates would say 'a sixpack short of a barbie'!

Not come across this one. but I'd love to know what it means.\nIf it's any help chard is a member of the beet family, you normally eat the leaves.\nIt's also an old fashioned word for heard and the name of a market town in Somerset.\nI also found the link below in wikepedia; is it possible you've misheard or misunderstood?

Sorry to hear that Wc_Carroll... about the 1/2 french thing\n\nI agree with the 1st answer, it looks like a bon er! Albeit a small one (maybe it's the George Kastanza model)

Oui, ça a ce parfum un peu suranné de la tradition.\n\nOn retrouve toujours cette envie de bouffer de l'anglais, les stades mythiques ...\n\nBien sûr la surabondance des tournées et surtout la Coupe du Monde lui ont fait de l'ombre mais on l'aime toujours notre vieux tournoi !

It probably means Great Lady. In french grand is great and dame is lady. I think.\nIt probably just means that the family needs her for everything.

"Mardi gras" literally means "fat Tuesday".  It was a celebration that took place on the last day before the beginning of Lent, a religious time of fasting.  We also call it Shrove Tuesday and Pancake Day.  It also has a pre-Christian connection.\n\nCheck out the websites I've attached.  They should give you the information you need.

"Dieu et mon droit" Means "God and my Right" in French.\n\nThis is the motto of the English Mnarchy, which was established before English was a common language.

Certes il est le capitaine de l'equipe championne du monde mais le ballon d'or serait vraiment mal decerné s'il lui arrivait car :\n- Ce n'est pas le meilleur joueur de son equipe.\n- Ce n'est pas le meilleur joueur à ce poste.\n- Ce n'est pas le meilleur joueur Italien.\n- Il est quand même mouillé jusqu'au cou dans l'histoire des matchs truqués en Italie.\n- C'est quand même un pro des coups en douce sur les attaquants adverses.\n\nPour toutes ces raisons (bon certes la dernière n'engage que moi) il ne mérite pas le ballon d'or.

I suspect you may have misheard this recently.  It sounds like the German exclamation "Ach du lieber!"\n\nI don't know the translation of it, but when I used to read Sgt. Fury and the Howling Commandos comic books back in the sixties, if the commandos jumped into a nest of Nazis at least one of them would invariably yell "Ach du lieber!".  So I also thought it was just a way for germans to voice surprise.\n\nJust curious...did you ask because of its use in a recent commercial that has been on TV a lot recently?
