Norwegian lesson of the day:
Magen blir mett før øya, idiom, literally “the stomach gets full before the eyes” (øya is dialect for eyes, the norm would be øynene), meaning the tendency to fill your plate up with too much food when presented with something you like, forcing you to either eat yourself sick or to leave embarrassing heaps on your plate at the end of the meal. Sometimes used metaphorically, when a rough equivalent in English would be “bite off more than you can chew” (though we have that – literally – in Norwegian bite av mer enn du kan tygge).
Voice in my head: ABBA again – Don’t go wasting your emotions, and so on
