In German(y), we have a saying that TEAM is short for "Toll, ein anderer machts" (Great, someone else is doing it)...

  Never heard it, but now it is part of my dictiornary thanks! :) On the other hand, I have found a very familiar remark. "Es wird gleich gemacht" with a sarcastic ton feels so familiar to the Portuguese meaning of "right away boss", like never. :)

    > "right way boss" As in "certo, chefe"? In Brazil that means "wrong, but you are the boss", not "never".

      Nah, I mistyped it, it was supposed to be "right away boss", I just edited it. Meaning "Já a seguir, chefe".

        Oh, that one is not popular around here. I guess it's safe to assume that if you listen a Portuguese phrase followed by "boss", the actual meaning is the exact opposite of the literal phrase meaning.
