Same thing as always, something I'm no longer interested in

Question

Es lo de siempre..... It's the thing of always, the same old thing as always? Gracias.

Answer 1

"Es lo de siempre." I like your translation of "It´s the same old thing as always."

You can also say "Es el mismo cuento de siempre," Es la misma historia de siempre," and when it is really bothersome to you, "Es la misma fregada de siempre," "Es la misma cochinada de siempre," "Es la misma chingadera de siempre" (Mexican slang), etc.

Answer 2

Also, "lo habitual" / "lo de costumbre"

Answer 3

I imagine it as a response to, for example -

¿Qué hay de nuevo?

Nada....lo de siempre....

Same old thing/s sounds good to me.

Answer 4

Maybe it can be:

el cuento eterno

although it kind of means the old story..

Answer 5

The kitchen staff at our restaurant often say.....

¡La misma cag@d@!

Answer 6

I like sin novedades.

Answer 7

How about es siempre la misma ?= It's always the same

certainly, but I am thinking, lo de siempre, is almost idiomatic... if I am catching it by the right side. - jeezzle, Nov 21, 2010

Yes, I think that's a better approach than my answer actually, as galsally says - lagartijaverde, Nov 21, 2010
