| The French phrase "''[http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poudre_de_perlimpinpin poudre de perlimpinpin]''" comes a close second, this idiom translates as "[[wikipedia:Snake oil|snake oil]]", i.e. an unproven and questionable remedy.

| The German word "''Handschuhschneeballwerfer''", I believe literally means "one who wears gloves to throw snowballs" ("hand-shoe(glove)-snow-ball-thrower"), is used to mean "coward" and is quite cool too.
