Quotes: To repeat, cite or refer Synonyms: citation, citing, cutting, excerpt, extract, passage, quote, recitation, reference, saying, selection
I'm fully bilingual but haven't posted much in Spanish even though it is a big influence in my life. For example, that's were I get my love of quotes. In Puerto Rico I grew up hearing all kinds of dichos and refranes from grandparents, uncles, friends ... everyone. My family is Puertorican but I know other countries also have their funny sayings and proverbs.
Here are some examples of really popular ones.
En boca cerrada no entran moscas.
No flies can enter a closed mouth.
El camarón que se duerme se lo lleva la corriente.
A sleeping shrimp will get carried away by the current.
Then there were colmos = funny ironies (no one should wonder why I'm so sarcastic ;)
¿Cuál es el colmo de un oso panda?
Que le tomen fotos a color, y que salgan en blanco y negro.
¿Cuál es el colmo de un ciego?
Que se llame Casimiro Buenavista.
