Asker: Yes! 'Get over it!' is very close and probably also correct. I'd like something a little more fun. Anyone?


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Brian Young: How about "would you like some tissues? (Kleenex)" said sarcastically. Otherwise I agree that several of these suggestion cover it. The cheese and whine is a bit too long.

go get a pacifier


Explanation:
Kan evt. suppleres med: ...go get a pacifier, big baby, and suck on it!

Asker: The pacifier idea has merit, especially when you think about 'Tudemarie', who probably needs a pacifier to stop crying. She also needs to 'Get a life'. The idea, for me, is to find a translation that is fun and to the point but without being rude.

Asker: I am sorry. There's no way to give each answerer two points. I didn't know. I simply started at the top.

Go pick up a Penguin


Explanation:
Pick up a Penguin is a marketing expression for a certain biscuit - of course it depends on the context of this phrase - if it is not ironic, it can be something to do with comfort food. Grab a little comfort food. etc.

Asker: Pia - I just love that. It's so bizarre and incongruous that one really has to be in the loop to understand it. Thanks for making me laugh.

Asker: I am sorry. There's no way to give each answerer two points. I didn't know. I simply started at the top.
