English term or phrase: keep pecker in the pocket
Chuck wasn’t sure what his father was talking about and wasn’t interested in pursuing it. When Chuck was older, his father advised him to “keep his pecker in his pocket.” At that point his father had little credibility with Chuck.

شاد و خوش باش


Explanation:
This phrase may express different meaning at the first sight. Whilst pecker is a word now associated with American slang the usage here is the English pecker, that is, nose or mouth, as opposed to the American, that is, penis. The phrase is equivalent to keep your chin up. Anyway, this phrase means "Cheer up" or "Don't worry, stay happy!"

Example sentence(s):
  • Aarron blushed when his ancient relative exhorted him to "Keep his pecker up!". He didn't realise that she only wanted him to smile.

دودولتو توی جیبت نگه دار


Explanation:
The context here is completely American, not British. The father's advice is "be careful with chasing after women".

The British usage is completely different in this case, and would make no sense.

Perhaps we could also use معامله instead of دودول
