To "cry wolf", raising a false alarm for attention. In the story the idiom references Peter's sheep are eventually devoured by wolves as he cries for help, which the villagers assume is yet another prank.

My employer was taken out of commission by a ransomware attack for nearly a month.
About when that concluded, my fiancée contracted severe pancreatitis from a fairly routine surgery and has been fighting for her life ever since.
My doctor chalks down all the extreme dizziness and sleepless nights I've had down to stress. I have to hope she's right cause I really don't have the energy to spare for being ill right now.
So in summary, less than great so far.
Some personal favorites I have used or heard used lately :
"Der er ingen ko på isen" - "there is no cow on the ice" meaning that nothing is wrong after all
"Lave dobbeltkonfekt" - "making double confection" meaning making more work for yourself for no reason
"Gøre ham en bjørnetjeneste" - "doing him a bear's favor" - a well intended deed that makes things worse in the long run
Glutes in the morning, calves in the evening. Smart! 👍
Not much? That's almost 1kg a week for nearly half a year, that's spectacular! Kudos!
All my former doomscrolling time now goes into working out, practicing French on Duolingo and going to events to meet people. So far so great!
Overcame my anxiety and asked a pretty girl out. We're going out for drinks tomorrow night 😁
And had I not made the comment it would have been the work of minutes for someone to generate a thousand like it to drum up support.
Let's not pretend anonymous internet comments have any actual bearing here. I'm just having fun coming up with new terms for this festering troglodyte.
Oh I agree wholeheartedly. But every time I see his ghoulish rictus of a face it reminds me that for four miserable years the democratically elected* leader of the largest economy in the world was a philandering child rapist. One who is only now facing the slightest possibility of consequence for a tiny fraction of his crimes because he engaged in honest to god high treason. Nothing against ugly dudes. You're cool.

True enough. Say what you will about the 'loompas, they lift.

Given their history of industrious villainy, it's safe to say that the answer to that will be "Yes" as long as they're in business.
