Two different sayings: Explanation: Nära skjuter ingen hare - A miss is as good as a mile. Meaning that if something is almost finished, accomplished etc. it does not mean that it is completely finished, accomplished etc. När fyllan går in går vettet ut - When the wine is in, the wit is out. Ale in, wit out. Meaning that when you've had too much to drink you don't know what you're saying or doing. Norstedts Ordspr�ksbok |
