In Irish Gaelic we don’t say “Santa Claus" or “Father Christmas”, we say “Daidí na Nollaig” which means “Daddy December” and I think that’s beautiful.

In Brazilian Portuguese, we don’t say someone “does crazy and weird things”, we say they are “porra louca*” which literally translates to “crazy semen” and I love those weird quirks in languages.
