Que expressões em Português vocês conhecem?

Eu vi um vídeo excelentíssimo e muito engraçado do grupo Barbixas chamado Expressões. E gostaria de compartilhar com vocês:

O interessante é que o vídeo mostra os duplos sentidos de uma expressão: o significado da expressão e o sentido literal da expressão.

Por exemplo:

Quando ele fala "Quebra este galho para mim" significa que ele quer que o outro ajude ou resolva o problema. Mas no vídeo mostra ele mostra literalmente quebrando o galho.

Vou colocar os significados aqui e os que não couberem colocarei nos comentários. 

Expressões encontradas no vídeo:

** “Uma mão lava a outra”

Significa que uma pessoa deve ajudar a outra e que sozinho mais difícil. Assim como para lavar as mãos, é melhor uma mão lavar a outra.

“Vem com o pepino pra cima de mim.”

Pepino pode significar problema.

Ex: "que pepino eu fui me meter."

“Eu só tô precisando de uma mão”

Quando você pede uma mão você quer uma ajuda.

Aqui eles fazem um trocadilho com “um mamão(fruta)”. “Ficando tô precisando de um mamão.”

“Quebra este galho para mim”. Quebrar o galho significa resolver o problema

“depois quem tem que descascar o abacaxi sou eu”

“Descascar o abacaxi” significa resolver um problema que ninguém quer resolver.

New Year's resolutions This year I finally going to make my resolutions real. Do you know why? This time I won't make thousands of resolutions as I used to do. I'm going to make just two: - get fluent in English - increase my performance at work But, these two objectives are quite subjective, aren't they? Thinking about it, I have to establish when those are done. The first one is done when, at a five minutes chatting with someone, I commit less than three mistakes. I think it's quite feasible, isn't it? The second one is done when I make my work of five days in just three. So, my target numbers for this year are five and three. Wish me luck!

Directions The first thing to build a great future is to plan for it. I see some people saying like "let's see what it will happen" or "I'll go wherever the waves of the sea is going to lead me" and I think "I don't want to be like that" but sometimes it's what I realise I'm doing. I'm trying to "paddle" towards better professional skills and improve considerably my english but the "tide of life" is very tough. Anyways, I always try to remember the wise words of the cat of Alice in the Wonderland "If you don't know where are you going, any road will get you there".

Bad service review The service is very bad. Today my friend had to wait for one hour at lunch time, even we had keep asking to waiter about the meal, but the meal didn't come. He left the place eating anything. And the restaurante gave no apologizes, no discounts on his soda.

Santana The place where I live is located at northern part of São Paulo at the neighbourhood called Santana. This neighbourhood is largely a residential area but it has plenty of facilities as well. The main advantages of Santana are that it is a safe place if compared to downtown and we can find many facilities there like park, mall and many types of stores. I'm living there just for one year and I really like to be there. And as long as is a little far from downtown, the rentals are cheaper and the residentials are largers. But, as you can expect, there are some disadvantages too. The main problem is the rush hour. There, you can easily expend one hour to get to any other place. There are a lot of potholes too. I expect, in the near future, with the new major, the potholes are permanently repaired and the improvement of the accesses to Santana.

Carmo's Park There is a great park located on east part of São Paulo called Carmo's Park. It's a large wooded covered area which is great for who loves nature and fresh air.

Blackout In 2011, Brazil was getting some issues to provide enough energy. In one of these days, on my commute back to home, I was on the blue line of subway ready to transfer to the red line. When I get off at Sé station I saw the platform full of people that should take about 50 meters far from departure. The eastern zone had power outage and there was no prevision when the trains would work again. As people were arriving and the platform was getting more and more crowded, I decided to go home by foot. It was dark, it has just rained, it was 20 km far from home and I didn't know the path. But what could have happened to me? I already had run a half marathon that is 21 km! Following this hasty decision I get off the station looking for the avenue I already knew, but it wasn't close to where I was. I was at the center of São Paulo and the first thing was to decide which bridge of 6 that it had I should take. I choose one and on my walking in the darkness throw the bridge I saw a lot of homeless there. Some was sat, others were laid down. I started to run in order to pass that fast. I wondered if I could be robbed or even though to be murdered. One of them was laid down blocking the path. I just jumped above him and went on. In my mind, I had only one thinking: "I just can't stop running! I just can't stop!" After I left the bridge I didn't recognize that avenues, but I had some presentiment that it could have a path to home. The darkness and that quiet neighborhood was worse than the scariest movie I've watched. "I can't stop running!" Forty minutes later I reached the avenue I supposed to know. There was illuminated by car lights and there had some people waiting for the bus. Once I wasn't thinking well, I decided to ask for a couple which direction I should take to east zone. Twenty minutes running following that way, I realised that something was wrong. Oh my God, I was going back to downtown. I ran back and when I was half way to home, forty minutes after I had took the right direction, the power was reestablished. I was tired, smelling, dirty, but as the subway was working again, I took it. Despite my commute hasn't been according to my planning, at least I got some space in that crowded subway.

Discurso da presidente Dilma na ONU Até agora, a energia hidrelétrica é a mais barata, em termos do que ela dura com a manutenção e também pelo fato da água ser gratuita e da gente poder estocar. O vento podia ser isso também, mas você não conseguiu ainda tecnologia para estocar vento. Então, se a contribuição dos outros países, vamos supor que seja desenvolver uma tecnologia que seja capaz de na eólica estocar, ter uma forma de você estocar, porque o vento ele é diferente em horas do dia. Então, vamos supor que vente mais à noite, como eu faria para estocar isso? Hoje nós usamos as linhas de transmissão, você joga de lá para cá, de lá para lá, para poder capturar isso, mas se tiver uma tecnologia desenvolvida nessa área, todos nós nos beneficiaremos, o mundo inteiro
