9. Dark chocolate
8. Gherkins
7. Going to bed early

3. Getting vouchers for my birthday
2. Not being invited to parties
1. Being a kid
Today is Be a Kid Again Day but I’m not sure I’d want to be a kid again because for me it was often hard. For example, as a kid all I wanted was to be an astronaut, but when I shared that dream with my dad he shattered it with a single line. He said, “Son, the sky’s the limit.”
The best colloquial German phrase I’ve ever heard for describing fabrications / falsehoods is es ist ein Lügenkuchen mit einer Glasur aus Scheisse. It means “that’s a cake of lies with bullshit icing.”
Galician fishermen used to offer small fish to tourists as a welcome, which led to shameless tourists showing up asking for them. This is the origin of a Galician word for entitled tourists, usually from Madrid. The word is fodechinchos and I’d translate it as "mackerel-fuckers"
