  • I think the correct German expression would be “sonst werde ich dir die Fresse polieren”, which I again have no idea on how to translate to English (what’s the English word for “Fresse”?? - Important stuff you don’t learn in language class…).

    I like “knuckle sandwich”, though! :-) The word for “knuckle” would be “Knöchel”, but that usually is not used when talking about fighting.

    But we interestingly also have a backery-themed expression for hitting someone: “ich semmel dir eine” (Semmel being the Southern German name for a kind of backed breakfast roll, and for some reason used as a verb here…)
