What are Chilenismos (Chilenisms)? They are things that I've only heard here in Chile. There are tons floating around that you can find in many a place online (the award winning blog "cachandochile" has a great Chilenismos guide) so I'm going to be focusing on the ones in particular I like or haven't heard before.
My most recent discovery is the phrase "Cortarse las venas con una lechuga" (to slit your wrists with a lettuce) which rougly refers to a person who comes across all sad, moody, grim about thinks but they're not too serious about it.
I also think I should share my All Time Favourite even though I can't remember what the hell it means... Ready?... "Huevo con cejas" (Egg with eyebrows)!! Like I say, cann0t remember what it means but I laughed my butt off when I was told. Will refer back to the speaker and let you know.
I'm sure more will be coming.
Saludos, Jen
