Una amenaza, una canción

Used in restaurant or bar contexts to say that a drink or item is free, paid for by the establishment. Transparent in Spanish but functions as a fixed phrase.

Refers to the practice of collecting money from an audience by passing a hat or container, common among street performers. Figuratively used for any informal collection of donations.

Fixed reflexive phrase meaning to deliberately act as though one is unaware of something. The combination of the reflexive and the specific word 'tonto' gives it an idiomatic sense beyond 'making oneself foolish'.

Beyond the literal 'to stay with', this phrase frequently means to obtain or secure something, especially a role, prize, or opportunity. The sense of acquisition is non-obvious from the parts alone.
