Hungarian idiom of the week: tele van a hócipőm

This week’s new idiom is pretty common here in Hungary!

tele van a hócipőm (I’ve had enough)

Literally, this means “my snowshoes are full!” It’s used when you’re frustrated with something and don’t want any more of it.

Usage:

Tele van a hócipőm ezzel az időjárással! – I’m fed up with this weather!

Real usage:

“Amúgy a szakma rendkívül felhígult, és tele van a hócipőm azzal a sekélyességgel, ami jellemzi.“

“Anyway the profession is extremely watered down, and I’m sick of the shallowness that characterizes it.”
