This is one of my favourite shirts, given to me from a friend. Has anyone else noticed that English speakers seem to be obsessed with cookie inspired figures of speech?

• tough cookie


• smart cookie


• that's the way the cookie crumbles


• caught with the hand in the cookie jar


• website cookies


• what, do you want a cookie now? (as a sarcastic comment)


• cookie-cutter houses or other things that all look alike.


• come to the dark side: we have cookies.

The only German cookie related figure of speech i can think of is:

• Du gehst mir auf den Keks! (You are stepping on my cookie = you are annoying me)

We Germans are so much fun...
