Art/Literary - unspecified | | Spanish term or phrase: hacer (algo o alguien) de celestinas | | aparece en una telenovela mejicana, el contexto no tiene nada que ver con prostitución, minerales, monjas o sacerdotes. Parece como una frase idiomática. Aunque traduzco al checo, la explicacion en ingles me valdra perfectamente. Gracias. |
