In Brazil we have "É de cair o cu da bunda" "Makes the butthole fall out of the ass", which indicates something impressive/unexplainable.
And "Que que tem o cu com as calças?" "What does the ass have to do with the pants?". Which asks for the relation of two completely different things. It is generally used as doubting there's a relationship at all.
Brazilian Portuguese does have lots of anus related sayings.
Dutch has a few that some say are insane-sounding but for me make a lot of sense as a native English speaker:
In Indonesian, there's an idiom "guru kencing berdiri, murid kencing berlari" which literally translates to teacher pee standing, students pee running. Meaning that students/followers learn not only good examples but the bad as well, and will one day be better at it than their predecessors.
It is not the yellow from the egg but I understand only train station. My lovely gentleman's singing club, I think I spider!
What that just one idiom ?
No, that are 4 different ones.
In Hebrew there is "para, para" which translates to "cow, cow" and it means "one at a time"
There is also "matzoz meh-ha-etzba" which translates to "sucked from the finger" and it means bullshit basically.
"Nishbar li ha-zain" which is "my penis broke" and it means "I'm done with this" in an angry and out of petience way.
In german we have the phrase "etwas aus den Fingern saugen", which also translates to "to suck something from the finger" and also basically means it's bs. Thanks for sharing!
Hebrew probably borrowed it since a lot of its slang comes from European countries
Croatian "Ovce i novce" - literally sheep and the money. Same meaning as have your cake and eat it. "Kašika mu u med pala" - spoon fell into honey, meaning he got lucky "Tako ti je grah pao" - this is the way beans fell, meaning it is what it is "Izvukao si deblji kraj" - you got the fatter end, opposite meaning from you got the shorter end. It's kind of a weird one, as it is also sometimes used to mean the same as the shorter end. "Da ti dupe puta vidi" - so your behind can see the trip. Meaning to travel for no special reason, usually used when a reason is given, but is probably just an excuse to travel
ಕನ್ನಡ (Kannada): ಶಂಖದಿಂದ ಬಂದ್ರೇನೇ ತೀರ್ಥ - shankadinda bandrene teertha.
Literally: it's holy water only if it comes from a conch.
Meaning: people are only going to take things seriously if a specific person says it.
Example scenario: you tell a friend that a cab to go somewhere costs X amount, but they don't believe you and check with a different friend and then accept that it's going to cost them X.
You'd then say this idiom to tease them since you gave them the same water (information) but it wasn't holy water since you weren't a conch (someone they trust/have faith in).
