Fezaurus #7

İmam osuruyor, cemaat sıçıyor - the priest farts, the congregation shits.

Comparable to the English "give them an inch and they'll take a yard", this beautifully imaginative phrase is used in situations where the lower echelons of society take the piss (or, in this case, a shit).

The correct form is slightly different.

İmam osurursa cemaat sıçar:
If the priest farts, the congregation shits.

:D

"Give them an inch they'll take a yard" is "Elini verirsen kolunu kaptırırsın". Cheers from London.
