Thread: Get down of the mule (Venezuelan slang)

Venezuelan Spanish is well known for a variety of sayings among it's slang, here are some of them:

Get down of the mule (Bajate de la mula) / Give me the money

At the time of the tea (A la hora del té) / The time of truth

Eagle doesn't hunt flies (Aguila no casa mosca) / It is used when you want to rest importance to a fact or a person

Goat that turns around breaks it's neck (Chivo que se devuelve se desnuca) / It is used when someone makes a decision and suddenly repents

Better knows the devil because is old than because is the devil (Más sabe el diablo por viejo que por diablo) / It makes reference to wisdom is better acquired with age.

To have god's beard hold (Tener a dios agarrado por la barba) / It refers to someone who believes that is better than everybody else when obviously is not.

Very interesting!

We also use "Más sabe el diablo por viejo que por diablo" in Argentina!

"Aguila no casa mosca"

Es muy bueno! la implementare

Deberia ser ...

Aguila no caza mosca


Casa es lugar donde se vive

Jajaja sii claro!

no me di cuenta

Interesante, muchas frases parecidas usamos en Argentina, el "Bajate de la mula" de Venezuela sería el "Poniendo estaba la gansa" de Argentina, por decir un ejemplo.

Bajate de la mula, acá se utiliza "bajate del caballo" que significa cuando alguien está muy agrandado que baje a tierra.
