Idioms in languages make me smile. They are a great source of humor when you are trying to learn languages. How do you explain "stacked?" As in, "stacked in your favor" and "stacked against you" and "stack up" or "stack off." If you aren't a poker player, these phrases all contradict themselves, using the same word to confuse the meanings.
I worked a few summers in restaurants as a teen. "Stack the dishes" usually doesn't need a qualifier explaining that expensive glassware are not dishes, but for new employees that wasn't always obvious. After all, everything goes into the dishwasher, so why wouldn't you assume they are all dishes?
Anyway, this was a fun little study where I was seeing how the colors of orange, green and purple stacked up with each other. See what I did there?
