Welsh sayings for beginners: No. 1 Malu Cachu

Somebody sent me a series of these and I thought you Sais (English person) might enjoy the insight into Welsh language and humour.

This one is pronounced: - Ma lee   Ca key.

I checked the literal translation of this one and it is a little "earthy" Malu is to grind but Cachu is brown and smelly, so the saying is not very polite!

My dictionary advises that the polite version is malu awyr, which means to grind air!
