Buenas noches, admirados amigos míos.
Desde hace un tiempo he estado recolectando algunas palabras o expresiones que, aunque son muy utilizadas en el lenguaje coloquial, no quedan nada bien cuando las escribimos. O no quedamos bien nosotros, mejor dicho, pues las pobres palabras son inocentes y ninguna culpa tienen de los teribles usos que algunos les damos.
Hello everyone!
I am seeking the help of Spanish speakers from all parts of the planet!
Many years ago my father, who was from Cuba, told me that one way to express the idea of something/someone being located «kitty corner» to you or your house, etc. was: esquina fraile a.
«Give me bread and call me fool/dog» is the literal translation of this set phrase. The idiomatic meaning is: I don’t care what people say or think about me as long as I get what I want. Is there any metaphorical and idiomatic phrase in English?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
