Have you ever heard the saying "you are as dumb as a bread!"?!
Answers: Do somebody use it other places than Norway? :P
Heard it! Would be fun to use it in an English country =P
-"You're as dumb as a bread!"
- "Huh?"
It's really "Dum som et br?d" in Norwegian, though.
I've hear "dumber than dirt" - but never bread...
Never heard it. If I had, I would have to correct the grammar.
I think I've heard "you are as dense as bread" here in the USA
i have never heard of it in america however, i remember some expression about being better than sliced bread.
Hi Maria,
New one on me, but I have heard "definetely a few slices short of a loaf"
My favourite in describing some that are slow on the up-take has to be " the lights are on, but there is no-one in"
How about "It is all crust, and no bread inside"
Just a thought

Only in america, where they really are as dumb as bread
No but if you sit on your buns all day you are loafing.
Dumb as dirt, dumb as a box of rocks, yes..
Dumb as bread, no... & I'm half Norwegian..
Nope- just as dumb as a box of rocks. I like- not the sharpest crayon in the box, rides the short bus, and elevator doesn't go all the way to the top.
