Today I want to show an expression, that is still quite used, in Spain, and it seems to me funny:
Aburrirse como una ostra = Get bored
Although, it is not yet demonstrated that boredom of Oyster is greater than a barnacle or any other mollusk, fame, in this sense, belongs to the oyster. Although, perhaps, boredom does not refer to such the shell as the pearl, which is inside, in the case of oysters with pearls. By the way: Do you know why some oysters have a pearl inside? . Just in case you do not know it, this is a defense of the oyster, when a grain of sand enters and oyster is covering it with a substance, in layers. Curious, right?.
Several pearls inside an oyster
In Spain, the most famous oysters are from Arcade (Pontevedra, Galice).
Oysters from Arcade
Going back to the expression, you could say for example: "I do not return more, to that party; I got bored as an oyster".
Well, I hope that you have liked this post and you can come to Spain, in order to taste the oysters from Arcade.
Until my next post, kind regards,
Luis.
