Not unlike the American idiom of, "cutting the cheese." In German, it looks like this, "einen toten Vogel in der Tasche haben," but my German is not perfect (or even close) so there could be grammatical errors or wrong endings or something. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Dead%20Fart
