peer agreement (net): +2stabbing yourself with a spoon Explanation: I know that Americans use this figure of speech when something is so painful that they would much rather stab themselves with a spoon than doing whatever they're doing. A litteral translation of your sentence would be: stabbing your thigh with a fork. I hope either one of these helps you out. |
