The nose is near to the eyes

Old Icelandic proverb, uttered two times in Njal's saga and meaning that duties often come together with family ties.
Thorgerd spoke to Ketil:"Oskuld is dead, as we know. Now keep in mind what you promised when you took him as yours foster-son".

"It may well be", he said, "that I made many promises then, because I never expected days like these would come. In fact, I'm in a difficult position, since I'm married to Njal's daughter - the nose is near to the eyes".

Crab eyes

When someone sends a picture of their lounge view and protruding big toes are exposed. Typically this is an ocean-view with big toes photo-bombing the picture.

Common reaction to such a photo is to write "CRAB EYES!" In the comments
What a lovely view, save for the crab eyes in the foreground.
