Behind the words

Same idea, different pictures

English places the remark nowhere; Shakespeare already uses it in Othello. Lithuanian aims for neither the fence nor the post, nei į tvorą, nei į mietą.

Bulgarian dismisses it as “my granny's kite”, на баба ми хвърчилото: two things about as related as a grandmother and a kite. Brazilian Portuguese says nada a ver, nothing to do with it.
