los burros por delante
  40

In the last century, it was a rule of etiquette, not grammar, to mention the interlocutor or third parties before oneself; it was like "you and me," or "them and us." When someone reversed the order by saying, for example: "me and you", it was considered a lack of education and, by putting the "I" first, it was said that he put "the donkeys ahead"
