Today is San Isidro, patron saint of Madrid. To the great misfortune to all of us locals, this year fell on Sunday, so we are left with no other party more (May 1, Labor Day, also fell on a Sunday, grrrrr ....) Anyway, for help you to numb the pain of your afflicted hearts Madrid oh, and because of our patron saint, I will illustrate with a few pearls of my boundless wisdom informative.
Pearl of wisdom namber guan :
With everything from Madrid and that is the chotis chulapa, dance, typical of Madrid, its origin is actually Central, and its name comes from an adjective no English, looking over the DRAE find its etymology:
Chotis (Del al. schottisch , Scotland).
1. m. Seized and slow dance usually done by taking three steps to the left, three at right turns.
Pearl of wisdom namber chu :
Do you know anything, piltrafillas, where where the expression "more cool that an eight" ? Let's go first to DRAE ( mine is devotion) to the definition of "cool" Chulo
(Del Mozar. Sulo, and east of lat. sciŏlus , bookish).
5. m. and f. Guy Madrid popular classes, distinguished by some involvement and handsomeness in dress and how to behave.
And now the mess: the castiza term "coolest that an eight" was born in the city center on the banks of the Manzanares, was referring to the tram service between the Puerta del Sol in central Madrid , and the meadow of San Antonio de la Florida, where they celebrated, and continues still celebrating, the Verbena de San Isidro. The tram in question used to be cargadito of "chulapos" and "chulapas" and was, you guessed it, number eight.
While walking around I stumbled upon the internet, I suspect self-concocted a maverick theory about the origin of the phrase:
sorry to say that that's not is the origin of this, its origin is a mathematician and continues "... that is 8 feet and infinity lie."
not believe me , but cool.
