saw this book about idioms, on npr.org
could be as fun as a barrel of monkeys
An Enchanting Tour Through A World Of Idioms : NPR
they're cultural ones included, makes for an interesting read.
here are a few:
Having the waist of an elegant lion: an attractive woman (Hindi)
Like hibiscus rising out of water: grace of a woman (Chinese)
To give the package: to stand someone up (Italian)
To lay a rabbit: to stand someone up (French)
