Today, I want to bring you a very used saying in Spain:
A palo seco = A capella
The translation "A capella" is said by us whe someone is singing without any music.
The expression "A palo seco", taken from the slang sailor, which means sailing, to prevention a stormy weather, with all sails furled, on usual languaje, by analogy, it is said of that which, because of it special circumstance, on a brief way, simple, without ordinary supplements. Example: "We were not at all and barely took a bite, a capella".
