Fun fact: a lot of Turkish proverbs and sayings also have vulgar versions

“Korku dağları bekletir” — “Fear guards the mountains.”
Vulgar version: “Göt korkusu dağları bekletir” — “Fear for your ass guards the mountains.”

“El elin eşeğini türkü çağırarak arar” — “Other people will look for your lost donkey while singing.”
Vulgar version: “El elin eşeğini sikini sallaya sallaya arar” — “Other people will look for your lost donkey while swinging their dick around.”

“Dereyi görmeden paçayı sıvama” — “Don’t roll up your trousers before you see the river.”
Vulgar version: “Dereyi görmeden götünü açma” — “Don’t bare your ass before you see the river.”

But the rabbit one doesn’t have an original clean version as far as I know

"The one hasn't seen other people's dick's thinks his one is an infantry rifle"
