Meanings sorted by:

pegollu
  6

Also pegollo , from peduculus , diminutive of pes pedis , foot . Pillar of the Asturian bread baskets and granaries, usually made of stone in the shape of a truncated pyramid. The Galicians call these supports esteos.

  
tuto
  3

Alistanism . In the children's language of my land, egg. Although rarely, some mothers are still heard saying: Do you want a tuto, my child? -Tí, ma.

  
poner pie en pared
  7

Also feet in plural. In addition to what our Open Dictionary says about being obstinate in an opinion, insisting with determination, stubbornness in something or sticking to one's thirteen, also stop putting up with pressures against one's own idea or position, stand up to: This is as far as we have come! Stop it!

  
proserio
  12

This term does not exist in any dictionary either with or without an accent on the i. But if we were to give it a charter of nature as a neologism, it would be with the accent on the i : proserio. . And it occurs to me that it could designate the whole of prose writers, adding a euphonious r to the suffix -io, as happens in terms such as redness or facherío. In power or lordship the euphonic consonant is not necessary, and here the quality of and not the quantity is alluded to.

  
a beneficio de inventario
  7

An adverbial phrase, juridical in its strictest sense, indicating a way of receiving some good in which there can be no harm or benefit: inheritance to the benefit of inventory. It is also used, according to colleagues, in a broader sense with different senses such as without obligations or commitments, with caution and care or the opposite, with nonchalance and lightly

  
unífero
  9

From the Latin unus, a single and fero, to carry, to produce: to produce only once (a year). It is customary to say of some plants to distinguish them from the biferous ones, that they fruit twice, as, for example, fig trees. Some only produce figs in September. Although in my land they also give brevas in June-July unless the environmental conditions are very negative. From this fact comes the saying from figs to figs, comparable to that of Easter to bouquets, because from one event to the other it takes more or less a year.

  
calaveriar
  6

Alistanism . Thinking about something a lot in your head, thinking about it a lot without deciding what to do. In the term, my countrymen associate the head with the skull, not with the one that is a skull, as is the case with the verb calavere.

  
éche o que hai
  8

An expression of resignation of the Galicians, equivalent to Castilian: it is what it is! , which we use in the face of the inevitable, when something has happened and we cannot change it or in similar situations. The Galicians add to the verb the ethical dative, a second-person singular enclitic pronoun -che that pretends a certain complicity with the interlocutor. That's how nice our Galician brothers always are.

  
a lo mejor
  6

Colloquial adverbial locution, as the Dictionary tells us: perhaps, maybe, possibly. I think it also adds a connotation of desire and not fear, despite what some say. For example, I would feel uncomfortable saying this: So-and-so is very sick, maybe he will die.

  
flogisto
  5

From the Greek adjective phlogistos, burned, consumed by fire. A presumed substance of bodies devised by the last alchemists apprentice chemists of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries to explain combustion. The 17th century German alchemist-chemist Johann Becher called it terra pinguis. At the end of the eighteenth century, Antoine Lavoisier eliminated it. It was not necessary to suppose their existence to explain the combustion of bodies. The existence of oxygen, whose name he coined in 1777, was necessary.

  
odio sarraceno
  5

Hatred is always a feeling of deep aversion and contempt, like that felt by Christians in the Middle Ages towards Muslims whom they called Saracens, from the Greek Sarakens, desert dweller, especially because they had invaded the peninsula and conquered the Holy Land.

  
cipotegato
  6

A somewhat burlesque and harlequinized character of the Tarazona festivities to whom people throw tomatoes in the main square. He carries a rod attached to a ball that originally, perhaps in the sixteenth century, was an inflated cat's bladder with which he scared away the annoying birds of prey in the Corpus Christi procession. The revelry of the people of Turiason during the festivities of San Atilano at the end of August is very contagious.

  
merito donde lleva acento
  6

Merit, thus written, is the first person singular of the verb merit, deserve, make merit or mention, as the Dictionary tells us. As it is a grave word, its prosodic accent falls on the penultimate syllable, but it does not have an accent because it ends in a vowel. Another thing would be if we wanted to ask about merit and as is evident, in this case it does have an accent because it is a compass word and we already know that these are accented (orthographically) all the same as the surpasses. It also carries an accent where if we ask a question. How great our language is and how complicated it is for those who do not know it!

  
kuksa
  9

Birch wood cup of the Laplanders, who carve from the lupias or distorting bulges of the trunk of this tree abundant in those Nordic areas. These knots or excrescences of the birch are widely used by artisans due to the irregularity of their veins to make this type of object.

  
pichacua
  6

Mexicanism . Nightjar. A medium-sized bird with gray plumage, of the caprimúlgida family, present in both Europe and America, with an infinite number of names, depending on the sites. In my country they call it pitaciega. Other names are burlapastores, atajacaminos, cuyeo, cuyabo, bujío, pauraque. . . . .

  
faltarle a alguien un hervor
  5

Colloquial verbal locution with a derogatory tinge. Being somewhat foolish, immature, and lacking in intelligence and experience. In my homeland and many towns in Castile I have heard the almost equivalent expression "to be something lacking", not just to be.

  
sad hill
  11

In English sad hill. Fictional cemetery of 5 . 000 Empty Graves in which the end of the spaghetti western film The Good, the Bad and the Ugly was filmed in 1966. Sad Hill was abandoned until 2015, when the Sad Hill cultural association began its reconstruction.

  
per se, per accidens
  8

I was struck yesterday by the characterization of the argument of authority of the Argentinian comrade Furoya when he said that he did not prove per se that something was true and it is true. Per se and its antonym per accidens are Latin phrases meaning respectively by itself, by the very nature of something, and accidentally, not by the nature of something but by other non-essential characteristics. These terms are also widely used in the scholastic philosophy that I also studied in my youth.

  
triello
  8

In Italian duel to three, pronounced trielo. This is how Ennio Morricone titled the final three-way duel in Sergio Leone's The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (il Buono, il Brutto e il Cattivo). The triello was filmed in the cemetery of concentric circles of Sad Hill, built ad hoc by soldiers of the army between Santo Domingo de Silos and Contreras in the region of La Sierra de la Demanda in Burgos.

  
esto es la caraba
  7

Ponderative expression of my land used indistinctly in one sense and in the opposite, for good and for bad. They also say this is the repanocha, this is the last straw and others are more determined, this is the rehostia.
