"Aus die Maus" refers to one of the most popular german TV program for children. The "Sendung mit der Maus" started broadcasting in the 70's and was the only program watched by children. Every episode ended with the sentence "aus die Maus" as a short form for "Die Sendung mit der Maus ist jetzt zuende." and it also defined the end of the TV session for the kids especially as back then the episodes were broadcastet at half past six on thursday evenings and after that the kids had to go to bed. So "Aus die Maus" stood for the end of the day.
Weirdest German idiom when taken literally (imo): "to throw an eye on somebody/something" "ein Auge auf jemanden/etwas werfen" It means that you have an eye on sb./sth. but I find it quite funny that we actually throw the eye in Germany.
Tja ich war mal beim Angeln, als ein Kumpel sein Messer nahm, das Auge eines Alaska Seelachses entfernte und mit genannten Worten auf seinen Bruder warf. - Und das nüchtern! 😂
One of my favourites doesn't have a perfect translation. If you go somewhere and there is absolutely nothing happening, you say it is "tote Hose" (literally "dead trousers"). A long running punk band from Düsseldorf are called die Toten Hosen (the dead trousers) :-) There is also a long list of words used to tell someone that they are getting on your nerves, all beginning with "Du gehst mir auf.......". Literally translated they are quite funny: Du gehst mir auf den Keks (you are going on my biscuit). Du gehst mir auf den Wecker (you are going on my alarm clock). Du gehst mir auf den Senkel (you are going on my (boot)lace. Du gehst mir auf den Geist (you are going on my ghost/spirit). Du gehst mir auf den Zeiger (you are going on my (clock)hand. There are others, but I won't type them here as it might offend somebody :-) I also laugh when I hear Germans making a comment about a woman with big boobs, namely "Sie hat viel Holz vor der Hütte" (or dialect in South Germany "Holz vor der Hüttn". Literally it means "She has a lot of wood in front of her hut/cabin" LOL.
Who's curious about "Aus die Maus": it is citing Armin Maiwald, the inventor and editor of the "Sendung mit der Maus", who said this often at the end of the program.
I think it is just due to the rhyme and isn't supposed to make any sense beyond that. Similar to phrases like "Ende Gelände" or "Hätte, hätte, Fahradkette". Or the english "to may to, tomato"
"Aus die Maus": When a famous Kids-TV-Show named "Die Sendung mit der Maus" ended, a lot of people always said "aus die Maus" . That's were it comes from.

Here are a few "southern fried sayings" which are ordinarily heard south of the Mason Dixon Line in the USA" 1) "That dog will hunt!", 2) "You must think I just fell off the turnip truck!", 3) "Bless your heart!", and 4) "This ain't my first rodeo!". In order, they translate as: 1) "That's a solution that will work!", "2) You must think me naïve.", 3) "Your brains are dog poop.", and 4) "I've seen that bull$hit trick before." Being Slavic, my all time favorite is "Pray for meat, but plant potatoes and cabbage."
"peace, joy and pancakes" was actually the motto of the loveparade in berlin. the "pancake" part was used to convince the authoriries about the seriousness of the project; being a political demonstration: Everybody should have enough to eat. It was approved.
I used the dancing bear reference in German, when responding to a group email that included a couple men with German wives. One of them said he laughed like mad. He asked how on earth I knew that phrase.
My dear mister singing club! Did you know that “Friede, Freude, Eierkuchen” was the slogan of the first ever Love Parade? It stood for disarmament, international understanding through music, and equal distribution of food. They initially needed such a slogan so the Love Parade could be declared as demonstration and not a party.

"Peace, joy, pancakes" - you know that's right
Never heard »Ich hab so eine Krawatte«. Usually it's »Ich hab' so einen Hals!«
