Comment: "Yes, you're both right. It's about something impossible to do. Never heard of "snipe hunt" but I'll add it to my glossary. For the time being, I'll go for "go find the foot of the rainbow" or even "go get a pot of striped paint"... A Kiwi one the latter, I'm told...Sorry that only one person can get the points. Chao

vete a...
Yo tampoco lo se, pero me recuerda a una expresion en el chapurreado de la Franxa, o Fragati, que se utiliza para enviar a alguien a que se pierda, por decirlo de forma fina, sin que esa persona se entere demasiado, mandandole a hacer algo totalmente imposible.
