Grid Writing

The Sunday Times of London reported tension within the Conservative Party in these terms: "Michael Heseltine, stung by Thatcherite taunts that he should put up or shut up appears ready to emulate Thatcher's gamble when she challenged Edward Heath in 1975."

This is a phrase that rings through the English-speaking world.

Je n'y comperais pas trop challenges.

I wouldn't bet on it.

Spanish uses "a puesto lo que quieras" for "I'll bet you anything you like."

Yiddish ends up being the most forceful with "tokhes afn tish" meaning "buttocks on the table".
