An example as if I was talking to you: "I'll wack you like an octopus" which technically already describes the action, however traditionally in my country after catching octopus in order to properly kill them and soften them up, fishermen basically smack/wacked them on the ground maniacally.
And I think it's become such a popular figure of speech because that mental image is hilarious and I love using it.
What language is that in, English? :)
Greek
