Learning Deutsch or German

As I clean  my room, I saw some papers where I wrote some German sentences and expressions for the preparation of my Deutschkurs or German language test level B1. I want to share some of German words, expressions or maybe these are Idioms that the Germans commonly used in their everyday life. Some are really funny because the meaning is not what the word means.   Here are some and their meaning in English.
  1.  Das ist Bescheuert- Thats ridiculous, that's sucks. 
  2. Na? So? -How you're doing?
  3.  Das ist mir  Wurst -( That's sausage for me)- What do I care, I don't care .
  4.  Ich besorge das Bier( I take care of the beer) -I'll get that beer.
  5.  Kein Schwein da- ( No pig there) Nobody  was there
  6. Kein Schwein hat mir geholfen ( No pig had helped me)- noone helped me .
  7.  Eine Schweinearbeit ( a pig's job)- a tough job. 
  8. Schwein haben( have a pig)- to be lucky . 
  9. Der spinnt (the spider)- he is nuts. 
  10. Das kannst du deiner Oma( grandma) erzählen( you can tell that to your grandma)- unbelievable. 
  11. Langsam langsam(slowly, slowly)- little by little . 
  12. Ich habe  die Nase(nose) voll davon( My nose is full from that)- I'm sick of it. 
  13. Toi, toi, toi- goodluck. 
  14. Weichei( soft egg)- someone who is weak and coward.
  15. Fernweh(  far pain) -feeling of wanting to be somewhere else. Antonym of homesick

These are just some German words which are complicated and confusing but it is fun knowing the true meaning. Learning German is hard but enjoyable for me.
