Get out of the way!

Friday is a great time to learn a new expression, so here we go! Have you ever been watching television, perhaps an intense basketball game or a movie with subtitles when someone ventures lackadaisically into your line of sight?

You might say, "You make a better door than a window," to the obstacle in question. Well, the Hungarians have a similar saying:

"Apad nem volt üveges!"

It means, literally, your father was not a glass maker. It seems to get the same point across.
