Actually I believe the expression does exist in Maltese. It might not be an ‘official’ Maltese idiom but it is used colloquially. I’ve heard it numerous times anyway.

What is hilarious is Maltastar’s translation: “he would not count his eggs”.

This is the day of reflection and you still indulge in your political mudslinging. Give it a break.

[Daphne – Go off and reflect then.]

This translation on Maltastar reminds me of a youtube video I once saw where some Taliban guy points his shoulder-strapped bazooka the wrong way around and hits his own people.
