It exists in multiple languages, it's from a latin saying "spes ultima dea" from the myth of the goddess of hope who stays among men to comfort them after all other gods have left them for Olympus.
edit: its relation to death comes from human tendency to err towards dark humour.
Originally it meant "even if all gods have left us, Hope is still with us so we will be fine"
to "until Hope doesn't leave too, we will be fine"
to finally "Hope is gonna die eventually, and then we're ***".

desperatly looking for an indoor activity for tomorrow (kindergarten still closed and around 100°F). All puppet theaters not playing on fridays (whyever).
So I got this nagging thought: state a local/national/continental proverb which is often used, but mostly quoted wrong in its meaning. For Germany: 'hope dies last, (but it dies) would come to m7nd. () part is often not said changing the meaning quite a bit in many cases.

I could say, "You know the park with the crank bobsled that may as well be a roller coaster built into the hills?" That doesn't help, though. :/
Germany has the best parks!

"(The) blood (of the covenant) is thicker than (the) water (of the womb.)"
With the ()'s omitted it's often used as a guilt trip to put family over friends, but in the original phrase it's actually intended to put friends over blood relation.

Or it's someone was decapitated by a person's dangling foot kicking them at warp speed on the harnessed Batman ride.
Time to temporarily shut down.

would be nice if you translated it anyway
'cett 'o pappice vicin'a noce, ramme 'o tiempo ca te shpertoso
it translates: Said the fruit worm to the walnut: give me time and I will dig through you.
Meaning is pretty obvious: even if things might seem really hard, with time and commitment they can be achieved.

The o at the end of spertoso is semi-silent which makes it rhyme with noce, yeah.

Is that like the Italian version of cockney?
We spoke Italian primarily in my house as a child, but it basically stopped when I started school except when cousins came to visit. I haven't even heard my mom speak it in at least ten years.

I am afraid I am not familiar with that dialect Jassik.
Neapolitan(my dialect) is an italianized mix of ancient spanish and french because the Kingdom of Naples has belonged to the french Bourbons and the spanish Aragons(I'm an Aragon btw.. *puts down crown*). If I speak it to someone from another italian region they wouldn't understand anything of what I say, it has its own rules, grammar and phonemes.

Cockney is a sort of slang version of British English. Lots of words meaning other things. I was just curious what regional dialect you were taking about. If it was a clear dialect or more of a slang dialect/accent.
