Pithy Axioms & Southern Sayings
#7
I recall a couple of expressions we used to like quite a bit:

Al pan pan y al vino vino - literally the bread bread and the wine wine but it comes from the older expression llamar al pan pan y al vino vino or call the bread bread and the wine wine or just say it as it is, a useful tip for.poets.

Entre chien et Lupe which literally means between a dog and a wolf but refers to a time when a wolf may be mistaken for a dog. It is used to say when sometimes it is difficult to tell a friend from someone who may devour you.
