Idioms game with SBD prizes (number 3)
Edit: prizes increased!
Idioms are the name of any non native speaker. These are sayings that make complete sense to the native speaking population, yet are completely nonsensical to the new speaker.
I am learning Dutch, and here are some idioms that I am trying to learn. To play this game, no Dutch is needed, I will give the literal translation in English.
So the rules are simple, from the picture and a literal translation of the Dutch, see if you can guess the meaning of the idiom. There are three, first correct will win a 0.02 SBD prize but the funniest (at my discretion, it doesn't have to be awarded) will take a 0.05 SBD prize. So, to be clear there are 2 prizes for each picture/idiom.
1
Aan de weg timmeren
Building on the road
2
Voor paal staan
Stand before the pole
3
Uit je dak gaan
Go out your roof
Have fun, guess away, don't worry about being wrong. That's why the funny prize is worth more than the correct one!

Also would be good to get this contest on @artz's big list of contests if you haven't already done so.
As you can see I am not that good with the funny guesses (unless they are by accident), but here are my attempts:

Ha ha, going straight for the money I see! (3)
I didn't really know what they might mean, so I went with the sarcasm. :)
Good way to go! If you don't know just bluff it out.

Thanks, it was a lot of fun! I'll use the reward well! :)
Don't go wild! You might have blown a good chunk of it on that upvote there!
Heh, the upvotes recharge, so I should be ok. I'm having to be disciplined and give smaller votes than I'd like because I need to get my VP back up. I got down to 14% and the vote just wasn't worth much there. I'm making progress, but it's still slow. Using Busy.org to adjust the voting weight helps. (Just a tip if you are experiencing the same issue I was)
Nice game but very hard - which is a good thing! I will take a wild guess with:
Good fun :D
Ha ha, nice try with the third! (5)
