I think it's "bless her heart" - the phrase you use when saying something awful about somebody.

As a polyglot, I can really feel for translators... you have to go for what means the equivalent of a phrase in info and emotion, which may or may not have anything to do with translating the actual word in the sentence.

One of the best examples of this is watching a foreign film like FInd The Crouching Animals or whatever it was on DVD, where you can have it dubbed and subtitled at the same time, and the two have NOTHING to do with each other, it's a riot.
