Hi

It's me again. I would like to discuss one more expression from Urdu.

Kalijey pey saanp loat jana

Quote:

Kalijey--liver
pey--on
saanp--snake
loat--roll/ slither
jana--have/ had

The literal meaning of this expression is

Quote:

"to have a snake rolling on your liver"

--and figuratively it means to dislike something very, very much. It's always used in a negative sense.

When she knew that Sara had won the lottery she "had snakes rolling on her liver".

So, could you tell me some english expression which could be the subsititue for the said one?

Many thanks,

Tom
