I'm starting a thread of peculiar #Italian sayings that you might find fun, witty and maybe even useful.
Let's start with: mio nonno in cariola con le mutande viola
Literally: my grandpa in a wheelbarrow wearing purple underwear (purple and wheelbarrow rhyme in Italian). Used to express utter disbelief. E.g.
- AI will help us solve global warming
- Sure, my grandpa in a wheelbarrow wearing purple underwear
