Holla, die Waldfee! *
* "Holla, the forest fairy!"
Idiom used just about never by Some People
Can be used to express a state of surprise or shock. However, it is very rarely used in a serious way because of its rather funny wording.

myśleć o niebieskich migdałach *
* to think about blue almonds
To think about unimportant things. It also means daydreaming.
Note: An alternative translation is “to think about heavenly treats,” considering the words "blue" and "heaven" are closely related in Polish, and "almonds" historically has been used to refer to treats a broader sense.
