Astisendo Grupo Editorial No Tengo El Chichi Para Farolillos Comic Spanish Green . To put your foot in it, to turn the ham around, to take the cat to the water, to pee outside the pot.Spanish overflows with these popular expressions whose meaning has little or nothing to do with the words that form them, and that are stamped in the head like colorful postcards, vivid and raw.Héloïse Guerrier and David Sánchez, the authors of Con dos huevos and Cagando leches (Astiberri, 2014 and 2015), which have sold more than 21.000 copies, examine under a magnifying glass a new batch of surprising, hilarious or hurtful expressions that would surely have flipped Teresa of Avila out.Graphically, each expression is illustrated literally.In this way, these colloquial language expressions, formed by simple terms, often linked to the register of food or sexuality, acquire an unexpected visual poetry.Decontextualized and taken literally, they become surreal, absurd, almost disturbing.In addition, the authors delve into the origin of language.Each phrase is consciously dissected, in an attempt to decipher its etymology, its how and its why:what was the initial use of such a phrase, in what context it was used or how it has evolved over time.A way to discover a language and its roots through its most colloquial expressions.The texts of No tengo el chichi para farolillos are translated into English and French.The definition of each phrase is translated into both languages, since the foreign reader -expatriate, tourist or student of the Cervantes language- often comes across these ready-made expressions, these idioms or idiomatic turns that can leave him perplexed.And with the purpose of highlighting that feeling of strangeness in the discovery of a language, echoing the illustrations in a game of mirrors, each expression is also translated literally:to shit on someone´s teeth, to go to another neighbourhood, to give the crouton.In short, an illustrated glossary aimed both at native speakers who are curious about the most surreal expressions of their own language, and at foreigners struggling with such prolific slang.An exhaustive and hilarious study.Carles Francino, The Window of Cadena SER A collection of greguerías to split your sides.
