What's the meaning of the idiom? - Chyeko, Mar 21, 2013
Significa alguien que es muy competitivo sin considerar a los demas. Despiadado. Literalmente, significa que él es capable de cortar la garganta de su competencia. - MyHeadAboveWater, Mar 21, 2013
an idiom is an expression that is used. A literal translation would not seem to make much sense such as: estar como unas castañuelas "to be like a pair of castanets" = to be as happy as a clam - WendyA, Mar 25, 2013
