I've long since passed the urge to need to translate English
*idiom*.  What I meant by idiom was *Lojbanic* idiom.  So if I say
"How do I say [extremely English idiom]?", please don't respond with
"that's malgli!", please respond with "Here's a decent Lojbanic
idiom that covers the same concept/need/idea".
