Southern Spain is also famous for sayings like these, some that come to my mind that I've heard from some friends:
"Hungrier than a snail on a glass" "Has less fat than a goat's knee" "More leg than a box of shrimps" "This is harder than sweeping the floor upstairs"
Only like one of those makes any sense.
Why would a snail be more hungry on a glass surface than any other surface? Or for that matter, why is it hard to sweep the upper stories of the building than the ground floor?
Yeah, upstairs it means sweeping the staircase upstairs direction
There isn't anything for a snail to eat on a clean pane of glass, as opposed to a typical rock outside.
Goats don't have fatty knees.
Shrimp have have many "legs".
It probably doesn't translate over that well..
