It's nothing to sneeze at... weird phrase

Question

I don't really know how to relate those two: It's nothing to sneeze at and no es moco de pavo.

Answer 1

moco de pavo is Turkey mucus (snot)

Is this what you found in the translator? I am not aware of a translation for the English, but I'm sure the idea is expressed in a colloquial way in Spanish. It seems moco de pavo is a lot cruder than the English expression so not a good fit. Something that expresses "not taking a thing or situation lightly" would be more appropriate.

Answer 2

$100,000 a week is not to be sneezed at - or - ain't chicken feed. (That was what David Beckham was paid in Los Angeles for kicking a football)

Answer 3

No es moco de pavo is a very colloquial expression meaning:

It's something not worth underestimating.

That ain't chicken feed (in more vernacular).

I hope this helps!
