Gusta lo ajeno, más por ajeno que por bueno.

Off-topic: grass and green come from the same Indo-European root.

And the green grass grew all around....Probably even more off-topic but it's interesting that all three of these words (green, grass and grow) spring from that same PIE root. - Izanoni1, Apr 22, 2011
And although there is no proof anywhere, I have the funny suspicion that "agro" could have something in common too. - lazarus1907, Apr 22, 2011
