Oh cool, thanks for explaining! I guess the closest equivalent phrasing I'm used to would be "sounds good on paper" - or in Scotland (home for me) someone would probably reply with "Aye, and if my granny had wheels she’d be a bike.” 😂

Nah, that's more like russian "if grandmother had balls, she'd be grandfather"
