salga pato o gallareta

It is an expression that is used when something happens or is done even without being sure of the result.

Beyond its literal meaning, it is said that elephants have a very good memory, which makes this phrase proverbial to say that someone has 'elephant memory' when he remembers in detail all his experiences and situations.

  
atragantar el embeleco
  22

I suppose it may have some literal interpretation such as "getting stuck in your throat", but that should only be understood in certain regions of Chile; Figuratively it can have several because embeleco would be "a deception, a lie, something or someone annoying, a nuisance", as well as choking that can be "pierced or hidden in the throat, which can not be swallowed or accepted, or that is done but without desire or with difficulty", in addition to "staying with the desire to tell a lie" because of the discredit or because the right time has passed to take advantage of the deception.

  
marcar uno cuarenta la milla
  21

It is a burrero euphemism that takes the concept of "light of helmets" or "casquivana" for a woman of liberal sexual mores a step further. It is precisely because of the speed of the race mares, that if they mark on the stopwatch "one minute and forty seconds the mile" they are considered very fast.

  
luz al final del túnel
  21

As an expression it has a comparative meaning, it is based on the situation of walking through a tunnel, supposedly dark, and seeing the clarity at the end indicating an exit; From there the light is interpreted as "the solution sought in the midst of a dark problem". However, there is another interpretation related to the near-death experience, where those who were able to return from 'clinical death' report having seen a tunnel with a very bright light at the end, which is supposed to be the final place where our soul travels; Although neurologists say it's just the effect of lack of oxygen on the brain.

  
arroz y gallo muerto
  10

It is a Madrid expression for a good meal, from which the cook hides the ingredients, because he wants to keep the secret of his recipe, or because he considers impertinent a query that he does not want to answer. It seems to come from a popular game in some festivities where a rooster was hung from a rope and blindfolded participants tried to beat him to death, and whoever got it took it to cook it with rice, although in some cases it was shared with the rest of the partygoers. For the latter is that this locution is associated with banquets and popular celebrations. See dead, "canguingos and fish legs".

  
ex-
  81

Prefix of Latin origin used to indicate "remote, which is outside"; as a consequence also "deprivation", which is further interpreted as "which was but is no longer". Although it does not have a meaning, it is common to find it in the formation of verbs, nouns, . . .
