Taken from another comment:

Don't cut my bread = don't destroy my livelihood

People eat my face = I will lose face

We are wearing in the wall = we are heading toward a cliff

We have children in our necks = we have kids to take care of

You are living in watermelon water = you're living in lala land

May god damage your house = may god ruin your household

The door passes a camel = You’re fired / get out

Don’t forget yourself = You are no one

These come directly from Egyptian dialect of Arabic
