a stone off my heart


Explanation:
przyznam się ze wstydem, że zawsze używałem takiej kalki językowej i zdawało się być to powszechnie zrozumiałe; nie wiem czy sam nie podchwyciłem tego od jakiegoś Anglosasa.
Google znajduje 130 stron na potwierdzenie mojej polsko-angielskiej kalki jezykowej.

Może jakiś native by się wypowiedział?
