We have the knife in the drawer one in Swedish too. My favourite one is "The wheel is spinning but the hamster is dead" however.

That feels a lot like 'the lights are on but nobody is home'

> but my favorite one is "he is not the penguin who slides the furthest" :D

Did you too learned that one in the related thread on /r/France last year[1]? Or was it something that you heard IRL?

I heard it in real life and I Googled it to check the person speaking did not make it up ^^

Never heard the penguin one in any language but it sure is hilarious!

I hope I can remember that one.

"they are not bright" is common in english
