6. die Nase (gestrichen) voll haben
Die Nase (gestrichen) voll haben (lit. to have a full nose) simply means that somebody is fed up with something or someone. This German saying is pretty popular and you will hear it often pretty often in everyday speech.
The saying is pretty informal obviously. To make the phrase “Die Nase voll haben” even more powerful, you can add a “gestrichen” in front of voll, and at that point everybody should be aware that you are extremely fed up with that something (or someone).
Example:
Ich habe die Nase von der Schule gestrichen voll! Ich werde dort morgen nicht mehr hingehen!
Translation:
I’m really sick and tired of school! I’m not going back there tomorrow!
