Anchovy-Alice Anchovy (or Alice) is a little fish (the one that is on the pizza). When a person makes a very lean diet or do you say "Hey, eat something, you're an anchovy!"
Lamb The lamb is mild and good. We affectionately call a baby lamb or lamb. For an adult to be a lamb but is not necessarily a compliment. The sacrificial lamb is what kills you at Easter. And wary of the wolf turning lamb.
In Rome, especially at Passover, we eat the lamb (lamb) and be depressed is to be a bit ' depressed, as the lamb who knows what end awaits him.
Allocco Being a fool is to be so naive as to reach almost to stupidity, many magicians, clairvoyants, sales of amulets and talismans become rich because many fools believe their nonsense.
Skylark The lark is a bird that resembles the sparrow. The hunters use a special mirror that attracts the larks. For this we say bait and switch trick to lure and deceive a person naive or a little noticed, which can fall into a trap (one date information in a newspaper to distract the readers from a news story more important example is a red herring)
Duck not tell anyone that is a duck, but we all know the story of the ugly duckling and each of We would not want to be. Lame duck who is instead a role of power but can not exercise for a few technical impediment: the American president without the support of Congress, is a lame duck.
Anguilla The eel is a freshwater fish, long and slimy. Its characteristic is to be elusive. So a person who escapes that we can not control or carry on our plane of discourse, say "Needless to talk to him about this topic: it is an eel."
Aquila sure the bird is more noble and "important." And he sees far. When we say a person who is not an eagle, we mean that it is not particularly smart or intuitive, a little 'hard of understanding.
Donkey Donkey Sucker The donkey is not a particularly noble animal. Bring weights, work, is obedient and is not particularly smart.
hardly say a person who is a donkey because the word is part of school tradition to tell a kid who does not study at school (remember the story Pinocchio)? So even donkey, donkey and donkey.
Among the ways to say, have the beauty of the donkey, that is, the youth (also a donkey, a young man is nice). And the exclamation Here falls the ass! meaning "is now out of the contradiction, this is the weak point of an argument." Always better to have a live donkey than a dead doctor, of course, and if we are willing to believe that a donkey fly.
Vulture Vultures are waiting for the other animals to eat the dead bodies. Being a vulture
cowardly means to take advantage of a position of disgrace of the other: When the industry was going to fail many vultures have come forward to buy at very low prices.
Baboon little used, but you can hear someone baboon! in the sense of stupid, stupid, stupid
Cod Being a codfish, a codfish remain, to appear in the cod, as it is to be embalmed, unable to act or react. When that person spoke to me so I was like a cod, motionless, helpless. In the same sense Sometimes we use the term sausage.
Whale The whale is the symbol of the animal's large size (to become a whale = grease). The White Whale, however, is not only Moby Dick: in politics is a way to call the old Christian Democratic Party, political party large and agility with some problems due to its own weight.
Barn This is a bird with a somewhat 'funny. Being an old barn
thus means to be or behave stupid, ridiculous, out of place and out of time anyway.
Biscia Like all snakes are animals which are not to be trusted: as the eel (see) is elusive, but is also dangerous as a snake.
Bison has a bit 'the same characteristics of the whale, but it is a male name and also has some characteristic noise.
Ox The ox is the mass of people who do not understand anything and believe anything. The horned cow that says the donkey is the one who sees the faults of others without being aware of their own.
However, it is always good not to put the cart before the horse and no use closing the stable door after the horse has bolted. And despite the multiethnic society: women and oxen from your own!
Caiman The caiman eats everything mercilessly and without compassion. Being a caiman means to pursue their goals without looking at anyone, devouring everything in their own interests. Famous film director Nanni Moretti, "Il Caimano" where the protagonist was Silvio Berlusconi. At the same meaning is also used shark.
Chameleon The chameleon can change color depending on the surrounding environment. If someone is a chameleon that adapts means the situation around, but often in a negative sense: it is an opportunist and that is to change the flag depending on their interests.
Camel You can tell that someone has been drinking like a camel when, of course, drank a lot, but almost never says if someone has been drinking a lot of alcohol. You know, the camel can store water only.
Canary The canary is canary yellow and I can tell who is wearing something bright yellow dress. The canary sings, but have a voice on the canary is a great compliment. Eat like a canary (or as a fledgling) it means eating little.
Dog The "best friend" is famous for his loyalty, but as faithful as a dog is a sign of little autonomy. Die like a dog also means alone like a dog. Be like a dog and cat is the same as not being able to bear. If I chat without getting to the point they will say that I am beating about the bush, and if I behave badly, I could be the son of a dog.
But better not to wake a sleeping dog. They say dog \u200b\u200bis also a bad actor or a bad singer.
A maverick is someone who belongs to no group or lobby: The air-dog index instead of suffering. In general, dogs are a bad thing: dog's life, work like a dog, dog treat, you do not wish something like even a dog. And today it is freezing cold!
Kangaroo The kangaroo jumps. It seems that he does not know to do and perhaps that is so little used in the imagery.
Capon The capon, you know, is a castrated chicken.
Imagine yourself in that sense we can use that word.
Capra This animal does not enjoy a high reputation around. Being a goat is to be ignorant, not understanding anything. You can even smell like a goat, but that's another story. Fortunately, you can also save both ways, so find a system that allows you to get a positive result without collateral damage.
The Scapegoat, poor, instead what is sacrificed for the good of others, taking upon himself all the blame.
(But maybe now we're losing in piddling issues).
The Roe deer is the noble relative of the goat. Skip the mountains and is agile. We can therefore say deer who leaps with elegance (even the kangaroo jumps, of course, but with a completely different style).
Grasshopper The Bible speaks of a terrible scourge, "the invasion of locusts." The grasshoppers are very numerous, occupy a space and destroy it. Last night I had a party at my house and my mom! Came the locusts! In the refrigerator I was not even an egg!
Horse You can tell a horse person (usually a teenager) that moves and walking so graceful and a little bit 'noisy.
But there are many ways to say the horse be a horse, well launched into a business, have a fever from his horse, very high, as the horses sleep standing up, not noticing anything. The Trojan horse is obviously dangerous. My forte is instead my strong point. Run or jump the horse is enjoying the pleasures of life without brakes, and do not look gift horse in the mouth. Campa horse ...! it means that we're waiting for something that does not happen needlessly.
Cavia pet that is used in laboratory experiments. If you come to me to cook dinner for the first time the chicken with apples. You will be my guinea pigs (and I do not know if you survive, of course)
Fawn also known as Bambi, the world-famous Walt Disney cartoon. Its main feature is eyes, with eyelashes flapping so seductive and irresistible: Do not look at me with those doe-eyed!
Deer noble and beautiful animal, but with large antlers. And, you know, in Italian "horn" is said about a person betrayed by the wife or husband. If you hear someone softly defined deer, well, 'is not nice to her.
Cicala A famous fable of La Fontaine tells of a summer in which the ant worked to build up supplies for the winter and the grasshopper was enjoying the sun and sang. In the winter the grasshopper was dying of hunger and cold and asked aid to the ant, acids, said: "You sang? Well, now dance!". There is not asked to behave like a cicada. But at least the ants do not ask for help! (See ant).
Stork stork has arrived? Greetings!
means that a child is born. Children, in fact, the stork brings them.
Swan The swan is certainly a beautiful animal. But when he sings that means dying.
The swan song of an action then it is said also important and eye, however, made at a time of crisis irreversible, final act before the final collapse.
Bug small annoying insect that can attack humans. Being a bug is like being a little annoying pest. For its size the little bug is also known as electronic gimmick used to spy on a room or a phone (as James Bond enters a hotel room to check on the phone immediately if there are any bugs)
Civetta Making the owl or flirting means that a woman does something to show off and be courted. Attention, is very different from being a goose. The owl is not stupid: just want to be loved. The self-unmarked instead of a normal police car used by police to avoid being recognized.
Crocodile The crocodile crying after eating a person. Shed crocodile tears is therefore a bit 'hypocrite.
The crocodile, in the language of journalism, is also an article (tearful) written in memory of an important person who died. It is called this because the article is often written when the person was still alive, and remained in the drawer until the journalist ... at the right moment to use it.
Dove After the Flood report a dove to Noah the end of this disaster and reconciliation with God so the dove is a symbol of peace.
In the political language we hear about hawks and doves are hawks who support stronger action (including wars), the doves argue the need for negotiation. Better still
not throw stones in dovecot, leaving things as they are quiet without creating confusion.
Rabbit I tremble like a rabbit, out of fear. I can be a rabbit in the sense of a coward. But if I give the rabbit in relation to my activities of latin lover will mean only that my sexual performance, at least qualitatively if not quantitatively, are rather exaggerated. But you know, each one of us always has a rabbit in the cylinder!
Cornacchia Old Crow! They say those who have an unpleasant voice, but especially to those who say nasty things, acidic or wish bad luck.
Crow The Crow is like the Raven ... but more authoritative: the Raven is famous in Palermo, a magistrate who write anonymous letters to the institutions, had kindled suspicion, hatred and envy between the authorities had to deal with the fight against the mafia in the eighties.
Cozza ugly woman, without appeal.
Delfino Historically, this was the heir to the throne of France. Today for dolphin is generally defined as the person destined to succeed another, who for reasons of descent, or more frequently role, will take the place of an important person when it will leave his post.
Dinosaur way for young people: we old dinosaurs, even though we have done great things and we still have some energy we are an endangered breed.
Elephant The elephant is big, no doubt. Yet his characteristic is not so much to be large, especially as that of being "clumsy" a bull in a china shop, for example, will hardly be able to avoid any catastrophe. But more: awkward even in a figurative sense. Having a touch of diplomacy is to miss an elephant, a delicacy in speaking, a memory of an elephant is rather a good memory.
Stoat The ermine is an animal known for its characteristic of the most valuable fur that is reddish in summer and white in winter is white. The ermine fur is much sought after and is part of Magistrates of the Supreme toga, This called for stoats in journalistic language.
Faina Foxy furbissimo marten, perhaps even more of a fox. But often we say "weasel" Ironically, someone who has behaved in a way too naive and definitely not smart.
Falco Hawkeye we say to those who see very well (in a figurative sense who understands the future).
In reference to his aggression then, political language they are hawks who support stronger action (including wars), while the doves argue the need for negotiation.
Butterfly The butterfly is light and fly from flower to flower: a butterfly can therefore also mean being a person just by the constant sentimental point of view. A butterfly is also a style of swimming. In mechanics, is a species of butterfly valve, for example, an item of equipment.
hunting butterflies (or run after butterflies) means wasting time in useless things.
Formica A feature of the ant is certainly to be small, and another is often part of larger groups. But the main feature is that it is a hard worker and to think about the future of community organizing for the periods of cold and starvation. A famous fable of La Fontaine puts it at odds with the grasshopper instead sings and plays the summer and winter die of cold (see Cicada)
Chaffinch The chaffinch sings and has a way of fly that seems to represent a sense of freedom and happiness. You can be so free and happy as a lark.
Ferret It 'a cute pet, which she likes very much lively and fun to play. They say a baby ferret so much fun and dynamic, with the characteristic to be in constant activity.
Gabbiano Bello, free and elegant in its style of flight feel like a seagull is to have a great desire for freedom and explore the world.
Gallina Having a hen brain is not a compliment, given the small size. But luckily old chicken makes good soup. It is not addressing the problem which came first the chicken or the egg, and maybe it's better an egg today than a hen tomorrow. Writing with crow's feet is to have a bad handwriting. We like the goose that laid golden eggs, a person or situation that leads us continually economic benefits. Go to bed with the chickens (early evening) and get up with the chickens (early morning) but we do not like too much.
Gallo be the rooster in the hen house, do the wing or be a typical member of the Latin gallismo ... all things that relate to the role of "male superiority" typical of this animal. Everything's fine: just do not get up at cock-crow.
Gambero The important thing is to do as the shrimp they step forward and two steps back. Otherwise we will become red with shame as a lobster.
Cat If we just say that we have four cats, and if we have someone now in our hands as we say we play cat and mouse, if a person is a flirt means it looks quiet and apathetic, but in reality it can be dangerous. And if we have to skin a cat means we have a big problem to solve. Have nine lives like a cat is to have infinite resources. Wash hand wash is like a cat in a little 'review, fast, without wasting time. When we cat breeding means that something is unclear. It makes the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog!
Dorcas Agile, fast and agile as a gazelle. Do not forget that if during a bank robbery in comes a gazelle of the elegant animal, but we're not talking about the Alfa Romeo police.
Dormouse The dormouse is an animal that stays awake at night and sleeps during the day. It is also being dormant for six months a year. Easy conclusion: sleep like a baby means to sleep peacefully.
Giraffe There is no doubt that the characteristic of this animal has a long neck. We can therefore say giraffe who has a long neck or stretch your neck to the need to look somewhere. But giraffe is also a tool that is used in television to support and to move the cameras to get shots from above.
Gorilla The gorilla is a monkey by the powerful physique. Therefore called gorilla men who do the job of bodyguards (Bodyguard) by important people. Gorillas are also security officers inside the forest in which we must avoid acts of violence (for example, the gorilla in a nightclub are drunk or remove any malicious)
Grillo Jiminy Cricket has become famous for the tale of Pinocchio, even in the film version of Walt Disney. Its characteristic is wise to say things but to be ignored. But we also
cricket to a child who moves so happy, jumping and constantly zompetta, or even an old man who, despite his age, is a dynamic life full of commitments to the right and left.
Who then grill for the head is one that is made strange ideas, perhaps too ambitious.
crane The crane is characterized by its long legs and a certain disproportion in the forms: for this you can say "crane" to a teenager in a growth phase, when it is already high but not yet well proportioned.
Do not forget that the crane is the machine that is used on construction sites building or the construction of large facilities to lift and move heavy weights.
Owl This nocturnal bird certainly did not look reassuring: then do not say the owl! who says something pessimistic about the future, like saying do not bring bad luck! The verb
gufare (originally represented to the owl) is now used to refer to those who, with his black weather, it seems almost hope some bad luck.
Hyena The hyena is a very aggressive animal: it feeds on carrion and even if he is hungry to live prey. We therefore call it a hyena a cruel person, violent and without heart.
However, we can use this word even talking "nicely" in an aggressive person, who knows how to defend its case and that if he launches into a discussion does not give up until he reached his goal.
Insect insect define a mean person, to emphasize the fact that it is meaningless but also harass and sometimes parasitic. Of course that person can be crushed like a bug.
Hippo He's big. and only in this sense we use in spoken language: if I continue to eat so I become a hippo!
Porcupine is said of someone not easily be approached, always on the defensive and perhaps too closed in on itself. Sharp character that can not be stroked.
Lion King animal is aggressive and courageous, a person can defend themselves and fight like a lion, and you may even feel like a lion (but sometimes as a lion in a cage).
Hare Hare runs and runs: you can then run like a hare, and above all run screaming ... as a hare. Frequent hand is to invite the hare to run, as say invite to the wedding, ask someone to do things that are very welcome.
Dragonfly light as a dragonfly, graceful as a dragonfly. It is said particularly ironic in light and graceful, who is not.
Lynx lynx eye we say to those who see afar especially to those who guess the truth by some weak signal. Also here is the ironic use frequent eye and say to those who see little or lynx understands little.
Firefly See / Take firefly lanterns to is a little 'know how to say flasks for whistles, understand evil, really evil. It is said that once the Arab soldiers (who used to light up their fields with small lanterns) arrived at night in Egypt. They saw a large swarm of fireflies in a valley and, thinking it was a huge field of enemy soldiers ran away.
Pierpaolo Pasolini has instead introduced the word "Fireflies" as a synonym for prostitute that "light up the streets at night"
Lizard Making the lizard is to stand nicely in the sun tan regardless of the heat
Snail-Snail Who goes slowly goes safely and goes far, but slow as a snail
is perhaps a bit 'too slow.
The synonym is used to describe a spiral staircase with a shape similar to this animal.
nut is also a sign that is used in e-mail: @.
My e-mail address is info, dot net chiocciola.scudit (info@scudit.net)
Wolf wolf means terrible and I have so hungry as a wolf or say that there is a time for wolves. I can also eat like a wolf (very much), but above all I have to remind you that those sheep wolf eats it. Good luck is a lucky omen that (before an exam for example), you answer the cracks Wolf!
Being a sheep among wolves or plunging into the lair of the wolf is not convenient, and you should not cry wolf wolf! if there is a real danger. We know that the leopard can not change its spots. An expert navigator instead is a catfish.
Macaco clever and mischievous Monkey: macaco you say to a child who manages to get what he wants with his sympathy and some subterfuge.
Pork - Porco like a pig (or a pig) is never a great compliment: eating, behaving like a pig, be, look like a pig ... be ', is not very elegant. Dogs and
pigs means all, without distinction, without selection (now a graduate take the dogs and pigs); cast pearls before swine is to give something good to those who do not deserve or appreciate. Convenient means to make their own hogs behave according to their own interests without thinking about others.
Mandrill The mandrill, especially in the language spoken in Rome, is the representative of sexuality and masculinity: a mandrill means then do not miss this opportunity to perform in their specific skills coupled (perhaps due to the fact that this monkey, the mating period, he exhibited "shamelessly" to show one's genitals his desire)
Marmot sleep like a marmot means to sleep peacefully and even in the long
Merlo Being a blackbird it means to be a person who can take fool around or easily. Is a blackbird, for example, who agree to play cards with professional gambling naively hoping to win.
Moscow I do not want to make a molehill, but if I miss a fly on the nose (if I get nervous) I want absolute silence, I will not hear a pin drop! Got it? Shut up and fly! I would not even hurt a fly (and certainly not a white fly), but I'm sorry if I work hard and then rest, holding a handful of flies. And I always sleep so much: I have to point the tsetse fly.
Cow - Cow Just use the word "cow" in speech. While the cow stands, terribly offensive if addressed to a woman (meaning prostitute, fat, uncouth), we use the expression
go / send in cow: means to mess up a project, do not have any results, go to empty : that my idea of \u200b\u200bgoing on holiday in India has unfortunately gone into a cow!
Mule Stubborn as a mule is a saying very often. But even a mule
, not only in the sense of stubborn and obstinate, but also in the sense of a person who works tirelessly, without ever stopping until its task is completed.
Goose Goose is defined as a woman who talks too much, and inappropriately, to show off. If being owl (see) has a certain charm and features a bit more than 'vanity,
be a goose means being irredeemably stupid.
When the goose, as well as talking, laughing even, then we say
joyful goose.
goosebumps instead may be the cold or an emotion, while
squawking like a goose is not elegant.
Orango Say orangutans is like someone saying ape, big, graceless, awkward and maybe even a little 'funny.
Bear A bear is someone who loves being at home, among his things, not available to the life of society. This is not to be antisocial, but only a little 'pantofolaio "fun and low-mass (the bear, you know, spends much time in his cave to sleep).
However do not forget:
should not ever sell the chickens before they seized !
Oyster Attacked like an oyster: the oysters are attached to the rocks and in fact if someone is attacking us in the same way ... be ', we usually want to get rid of it.
Panther Panther is beautiful, elegant, charming, a little 'show-off, aggressive and dangerous. If we say we mean panther of a woman who does nothing to hide being a "man-eater"
Duck Walk like a duck or as a means duck in a little 'funny, with your feet apart.
Take it or make a duck instead concerns a matter of case: if I want to say a word from my mouth and inadvertently mangled the word out (or even leaving another), it will say that I have taken a duck.
Parrot repeat like a parrot to say something to report an issue with the words we have heard from others, perhaps not even understand them well. A student who has studied the lesson means that a parrot has learned by heart the concepts without them really understood.
Making parrot is therefore behave as if repeating a lesson learned by heart.
In the language of the sixties was then called parrot the Italian boy who was stationed in front of monuments to "pick up" the beautiful foreign tourists.
Sparrow "Sparrow does not go away," said a boy in an old love song to his beloved. This bird is so cute and so soft that its name can be used to affectionately call someone. Attention to women though! Passera is in fact a synonym for playful say female sexual organ.
Peacock The peacock exhibits showing all its beauty open the queue:
do the peacock, or strut means so proud of something, show your pride. It should not be
be beautiful with peacock feathers This means in fact taking the merits which do not belong to us, bragging about something he did another.
Sheep a sheep who follows the flock, mass, behind a leader. The black sheep
is different but the item within a group (usually in the negative, but more often in an ironic way: in my family are all traders. I have studied philosophy, are the black sheep). The sheep
lost (in religious language) and who has lost the path of good. It will be necessary to return to the fold.
We count sheep to fall asleep, you sheep wolf who eats it, but look at the clouds above: mackerel sky with rain water!
Fish If I'll beg for mercy from his eyes wet fish if I have to be neutral between the two positions will fish in a barrel, if I shut up I'll be as silent as a fish, if you ask me how I say who are fit as a fiddle. In a club I feel like a fish out of water, I do not know what decision to take I say I do not know how to get on.
I do not like being mistreated, fish that got in his face, and I do not like people without character, those that are neither fish nor fowl.
If something does not work in an office I always remember that the fish stinks from the head and, speaking of stink, the guest is like the fish smell after three days. The big fish, you know, eat the small fish and the police sometimes arrest the little fish are so big on the bottom. However, early bird catches the worm. And this is not an April Fool.
Piattoli The crab (or "pubic lice") is an insect parasite of man, annoying. We will say then crab to a nuisance, a pest, a jammer importunate, a buttonholer, to a person short of annoying when I can not break free.
Woodpecker The characteristic of this bird is to hammering with its beak on a tree trunk. This one's nervous and agile movement causes you to define an extremely dynamic woodpecker, a child on the go, a very lively old man.
Pigeon Two birds (or better
lovebirds) are two lovers who look tenderly or exchange effusions. Their way of saying sweet words of love and flirting is defined precisely
cooing like pigeons .
Kill two birds with one stone it means to get two results from a single action.
If the situation is calm but will not throw stones in good
pigeon to avoid creating a confusion that might cause some damage.
louse The louse is the annoying insect that lives among human hairs. To delete it (if there are appropriate medicines), the only thing to do is crush it.
louse is said to someone who so deeply despise, those who are stingy and mean, a person that we would just crush a louse
. A louse
redone is instead a person who under the guise snob can not hide its original narrow-mindedness, his avarice or his rudeness.
Penguin The penguin seems to always wear a tuxedo, an elegant dress for important occasions. One may therefore say penguin to a person dressed up but evidently not at ease acting within that brings a little 'clumsy movements. Ironically
penguins also call themselves the Sisters who wear a white robe and black.
Octopus Because of its tentacles the octopus has become synonymous with the mafia or organized crime, however, that which has branches in several directions. Jokingly
octopus can also define a man embracing a woman a bit 'too fondly, as if he had more than two hands.
Piranha It is a carnivorous fish, too dangerous for humans. A piranha is a person without a heart, ready to eat or trample others to achieve his goal.
Chicken A chicken is a person easy to get around (a little 'as the blackbird, see), silly, naive and simple-minded; readily believe all the chicken and allow to cheat: I was a chicken to trust those people!
It says instead that the chickens laugh
who, believing to be funny, humorous tells a joke its not funny that nobody
Flea flea someone say that for its small size can not be a danger: you are a flea, you can not compete with me!
Have a flea in his ear means to have a suspect, he was hit by something that gave us some concern on that before we had the words you told me I have put a flea in his ear!
Do fleas someone mean to criticize a person analyzing it in detail, with no kindness or compassion.
The flea market is finally that market which sells all items of little value but also rarities and antiques that, if approved, could have some value.
Chick tenderness makes the chicken so we can call it a sweet and helpless child. It is also said
wet like a chick who is soaked in water to the bone.
Quaglia The jump of the quail (an old children's game) now shows a sharp change in ideological position. He says especially when people change in political party or ideology a personal interest and so displaces its old allies and friends.
Polecat The name says it all: the skunk smell.
Spider spider (or spider) we say a person physically small and not beautiful, but not without a certain sympathy.
not get away from a spider hole instead means fail to achieve any results, despite many efforts: I have long studied how to solve this problem, but I could not get away from a spider hole.
Ramarro green as a lizard is the only expression in which this lizard is mentioned.
Rana swollen like a frog (but more often swollen up like a turkey) is said of those who are particularly proud of and proud of something. Go for frogs
means digress, lose their train of thought.
give drink to a frog mean things to say to someone who knows.
kissing a frog to turn into a prince but an attempt is often bankruptcy.
Riccio closed like a hedgehog means not wanting to have relations with the outside and not at all ready for dialogue or negotiation. The rest of the quills of the hedgehog advise against getting too close to him.
is not clear why you say
also enjoy as a hedgehog or vulgar fuck (make love in this absolutely chic little) like a hedgehog, in parallel like a rabbit.
Rondine One swallow does not a summer .
and distinctive shape of the swallow's nest was named to several food products which are specifically looks similar to that of the mud nest built by these birds.
Toad A toad is aesthetically ... ugly.
If I have to endure unpleasant situations without reacting not to say that the worst damage I have to bite the bullet
. But if someone tells me to open myself and tell you what I keep inside me, something I did not want to say and that somehow makes me suffer, then spit the toad
.
Leech The leech is an animal who, with his mouth suction cup clings to the body of animals and men to suck the blood that feeds (and this was also used in medicine). Today we say
leech who "lives with our blood", who constantly takes away money this machine is a leech, breaks all the time and spend a fortune for repair every time!
Jackal The Jackal eats the corpses of other animals: it is therefore a person who takes advantage of the misfortunes of others. Jackals are the people after an earthquake or a natural disaster should be a steal in houses abandoned by people. And incidents of looting
media are also characteristic of some journalists to sell more copies of their newspaper speculating on current events and misfortunes of private public figures.
Monkey Make monkey or ape
someone means to make a clumsy imitation. If the parrot repeats things learned by heart without understanding them, imitating the monkey gestures and behaviors and can sometimes be funny.
