köken: The literal meaning is "to walk like the cat around hot porridge". The first attestation is from 1641 (see reference to Svenska Akademiens ordbok below). Compare with expressions like vara heta på gröten, "to be eager/impatient about something" (literally: "to be hot on the porridge").
1641, Svenska riksrådets protokoll I gå som een katt kring om gröten.
to beat around the bush, prevaricate, palter (to talk insincerely; to evade the truth deliberately)
çekim: geçmiş köntörfalaztak
köken: From the dialectal reduplication köntörfarol, from the obsolete köntöl (“the rear wheels of the car slide from the road to the side”) of unknown origin + farol (“to side-slip, skid”). The latter was changed to falaz by folk etymology.
köken: vòng vo + Tam Quốc (“(Romance of the) Three Kingdoms”). The expression likens to the long-winded and overly elaborate story of the Chinese novel.
