Funny Sayings In Spanish Biography

The Spanish are good with their insults. In fact, in many regions they take pride in the inventiveness and originality of their insults – especially in Southern Spain. In Andalucia, they take insults to an art form almost akin to poetry! Of course, as with any slang, these can be very regional.When it comes to concepts that are often expressed as proverbs or, as in Aesop's Fables, a little moral saying to sum up a lesson about life, some languages express the same lesson in very different terms. Don’t be surprised, therefore, if you hear something completely new wherever you are, or if people look at you like you’re mad when you try some of the below.
