Reminds me of Millor Fernandes's "The cow went to the swamp — A vaca foi pro brejo", which is a book of Brazilian Portuguese sayings translated literally to English. Pretty amusing. https://www.amazon.com/cow-went-swamp-English-Portuguese/dp/...
on “How a Portuguese-To-English Phrasebook Became a Cult Comedy Sensation” ↗I highly recommend the book “The cow went to the swamp”. It is illustrations of Portuguese sayings paired with literal English translations. If you speak Portuguese, it is precious. If you don’t, it is so bizarre you cannot help but laugh.
