Sayings and expressions! It’s been quite some time, so let’s have some fun with two today – related to\u00a0the\u00a0Sau\u00a0<\/em>(sow). The\u00a0Schwein\u00a0<\/em>(pig) and the\u00a0Sau\u00a0<\/em>(sow) in particular have widespread meaning in the German language. So this post might get a follow up! Let’s start today – beginning with the expression!<\/p>\n

To have a wild time (“To let the sow out”)<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is quite a well-known expression related to the\u00a0Sau<\/em>. It means that you are going to have a wild time, or just have an enjoyable night, that is ungew\u00f6hnlich\u00a0<\/em>(out of the ordinary).<\/p>\n

It has its likeness a bit with “to let the dogs out”, but… Well, do I need to say more?<\/p>\n
