peer agreement (net): +1besmeurd Explanation: 'Embetunar el rostro' is het gezicht/gelaat met teer of schoensmeer insmeren, dus een soort schminken, grimeren, als Zwarte Piet. Maar hier is het negatief en figuurlijk bedoeld. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 9 mins (2019-05-02 16:08:25 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Dus: zijn/haar gelaat was besmeurd met de vloek des He(e)ren. |
