A very common conversational phrase used to encourage perseverance. Often heard in contexts of hardship, setback, or uncertainty. Equivalent in spirit to 'chin up and carry on'.

Used when someone has taken precautions to protect themselves financially, legally, or personally before something goes wrong. The emphasis is on self-interest and foresight.

Used to say that something is immediately and unmistakably obvious, visible or detectable without any effort. A legua is an old unit of distance, so the phrase implies you can spot it from very far away.

A fixed idiom comparing a drunk person to a barrel (cuba) full of liquid. Used humorously or critically to describe someone visibly and thoroughly intoxicated.
