peer agreement (net): +2remover con un cuchillo es llamar a un diablillo Explanation: This is just a probably practical superstition -as no one did want their knifes to be wet, not the blade nor the (wooden) handle. But the truth is we do not have this superstition -or an equivalent one. And so, in this case, I would make it up for Spanish readers to wonder. Remover con un cuchillo es llamar a un diablillo It sounds unfamiliar but at the same time it sounds as a saying that might actually exist somewhere... And so I guess it would work ;) |
