I was always a little bothered by the translation of the title of Like Water for Chocolate. It makes no sense at all in English without an explanation, but my mom would use it all the time to express exasperation with me. Had I been the translator, I would have chosen "Fed Up" as the English title.

I wonder if the etymology of "cutting corners" is as obscure as "winning hands down" is now.

In Mexico we have an expression, "the twenty has fallen", which means you have come to realise something. It refers to old payphones from my parents' time which wouldn't operate until a 20-cent coin would fall. #Pragmatics and #linguistics are fun.
