las cuentas del gran capitán: It is a phrase that refers to an exaggerated, arbitrary accountability, or that challenges those who request it as unnecessary and even offensive. The origin appears in the Napoleonic wars of the early sixteenth century when the Spanish king Ferdinand the Catholic demands a surrender of the exorbitant expenses of the campaign, to which Captain Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba responds with enormous values for items that highlighted the value and sacrifice of his troops, the countless casualties of his enemies and the step obtained so that his kingdom could reach Italy, making it clear that every cost was low in getting a big victory.
más feo que picio: This Spanish expression is used to describe someone as unpleasant physical appearance. In Granada, at the end of the eighteenth century there was a local character born in Alhendín called Picio (by Francisco or Sulpicio) who was sentenced to death for a crime, although at the last moment he was pardoned. All this event produced a nervous breakdown for which he ended up losing his hair and with tumors all over his face, and became the mockery of the people for his ugliness. This would not have happened to be a local anecdote, if it were not because already in the nineteenth century the actor and theatrical producer Isidoro Máiquez added a parliament mentioning Picio in a staging in Granada, where he heard the comparison of that anecdote, and so made him famous on tour throughout the peninsula, until works like El feo (Manuel Bretón de los Herreros, 1843) popularized the saying.
con la mano en el corazón: It is an expression (and a gesture) to demonstrate sincerity, honesty, by putting a hand on the chest, at the height of the heart, as if one were swearing by one's own life. The origin seems to be in another phrase: "with the heart in the hand", which is not literal and is inspired by the custom of taking an image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus when swearing.
dormir más que la masa de las monas: This Spanish phrase is used to compare someone who spends it "lying down sleeping for a long time" with the dough to prepare a mona ("bread in the form of a donut") typical of Easter, which must be left parked for several hours before baking.
