Translate a foreign phrase incorrectly (even if you know the correct meaning) according to what it looks like and by guessing its meaning.

Carpe diem.
fish of the day.

bon appetit
watch for the bones

You're going to have to bear with me on this one.

https://www.freud-museum.at/files/inhalte/Ausstellungen/Parallelaktionen.%20Freud%20und%20die%20Literaten%20des%20Jungen%20Wien/Sigmund%20Freud%2C%20um%201906%20%28c%29%20Sigmund%20Freud%20Privatstiftung.jpg

This is Sigmund Freud, google images and you'll find he was always a sharp dressed man.

Sharpenfreude.

Sorry, I know it's more of a pun but I've not been up long.
