Guys, please add the English meaning. Thanks - SpanishPal, Jul 20, 2011

Heidi, when you wrote, "as for there word" did you mean "as for their word"? - Leatha, Jul 20, 2011

I think it was: "as for THE word", because she edited my question from: Which is you favourite Spanish word/ expression, to the question it is now............. fluent English .... yeah right ;-) - myamx, Jul 20, 2011

Answer 1

Las dos ingeniosas que aprendí y me gustan son:

Two witty ones I learned and like are:

"Como Díos la echó al mundo" - How God threw her to the world, i.e. she was butt-naked

"un clavo saca otro clavo" - One nail drives out another i.e. when you break up with someone, start dating someone else (the English phrase that is parallel is "to get over someone, get under someone else") lol

Hahahahah Como Díos la echó al mundo! I'll be using that a lot - SpanishPal, Jul 20, 2011
