Every cloud has a silver lining.
Don't tangle with low-lifes.
Damned if I do, damned if I don't.
Who cares? Let him knock himself out.
Murphy's Law, Turkish style:
He's got a head on his shoulders.
Like cat and dog.
You let the cat out of the bag.

It is actually 3 words.

That is definitely Western Armenian. Armenians from Armenian would never understand that. Instead they would say "inch es anoum", meaning 'what are you doing'.
