Another spanish saying and proverb 64
Monday, September 21, 2015 @ 11:18 AM
Today, I should like to show you a saying, that I did not know it so: “Acedía por lenguado, a muchos ha engañado” = “Acidity instead of Sole, many people have been tricked by it”.
Acedía from Sanlúcar de Barrameda, Cádiz, South west of Spain
Lenguado (Sole)
That expression is used when you deceive, with the quality of a thing, giving another thing with inferior quality, that seems to be the same. Covarrubias applies it so, in his book "Treasure of the Spanish Language", saying: "Sell the pig in a poke".
I have heard that last expression, many times, Have you?.
Well, I hope that you have liked this saying.
Until my next post, kind regards,
Luis.
