What can of worms? o.O *Is sometimes very stupid when it comes to english expressions*
Hehe, 'opening a can of worms' is the expression used for when you trigger some major event with something that might otherwise seem inoffensive or not a big deal. So in this case, talking about [insert American political triggerword, such as 'socialism'] would be opening the can of worms, since people can get very emotionally overwrought by the topic.
. . .or the simpler version wikipedia just gave me: A can of worms is a complex, troublesome situation arising when a decision or action produces considerable subsequent problems.
edit- now Riki beat me! DAMMIT.
Yeah... I'm sorry if I offended anyone, it was really just supposed to be a joke about the differences, not a standpoint or anything.

No, no. You haven't offended anyone! After all,
I was the one who brought the conversation from Final Fantasy to orthodontia to politics... In other words, I'm the jerk who almost opened the can of worms
Can open! Worms Everywhere!
Time to get you up on English slang
oh oh does the Danish language have an equivalent?
Hmm, I think we just say "Open Pandora's box"...
We do have a really gross saying though, for when something is bottling up and finally something happens and hell breaks lose. "Now the ulcer bursted".
I don't know if ulcer is the right word, but it seemed to be close enough

Gross indeed. "Uh-oh, that burst the appendix."

It's a bummer the buddy pass you have to give your friend the copy of the game they cannot download it from a site. Ah well I'll have to figure something out for that one.
