se le ve el plumero
  57

In catalan, is li veu the freeze-frame, colloquial expression meaning to see what is really under the appearances of someone or something, since sometimes appearances are deceiving and that is does not coincide with what appears to be. The origin of this expression is the nineteenth-century Spanish political situation, absolutists against Liberals, which created the progressive national militia whose members volunteers wore a cap with a striking red feather plume. In political discussions could sometimes hear: you to me not me fool, you've seen the Duster.
