RE: Idioms game with SBD prizes (number 6)
1— Iemand bij de neus nemen
Taking someone by the nose
This seems like the English "to pull someone's leg" or in Spanish "to take someone by the hair". I find it funny because here in Latin America we have the stereotype of European people being long-nosed, so to each their own stereotype-based worries.
2— Het bijltje erbij neergooien
Throw down the axe
From the text, the first thing I thought was "to surrender", "to give up". But from the image, I thought it was about asking someone for their hand in marriage.
And from the meme perspective:
Maybe the Dutch have a Dwarf line of thinking and go throwing axes at projects they want to join.
3— In de soep lopen
Walking in the soup
I would imagine it's someone in some kind of trouble or intense situation.
Ex. "I'm knee deep in the soup and your asking me to blow up balloons?"
Ha ha, funny for the number 2! Did you recognise your Horizontal ruler? (3)
Thanks for playing.
