Idea Explanation: Hola Leonardo, Esta es una expresión que puede significar varias cosas, una de entre ellas sería "pedir dinero". Te doy una página de referencia que expica el origen de la expresión y sus posibles significados. Un saludo y buen trabajo :o) http://www.quinion.com/words/qa/qa-mor1.htm Mark Twain used your version in A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court in 1889: "she was wise, subtle, and knew more than one way to skin a cat", that is, more than one way to get what she wanted. An earlier appearance is in 'Way down East; or, Portraitures of Yankee Life by Seba Smith of about 1854: "This is a money digging world of ours; and, as it is said, 'there are more ways than one to skin a cat,' so are there more ways than one of digging for money". From the way he writes, the author clearly knew this to be a well-known existing proverbial saying. In fact, it is first recorded in John Ray's collection of English proverbs as far back as 1678. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-07-18 07:18:56 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Otra opción sería: \"ganar dinero\". http://www.99waystoskinacat.com/ 99 WAYS TO SKIN A CAT - OR - HOW TO REALLY MAKE MONEY ON THE INTERNET! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-07-18 07:19:23 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Otra opción sería: \"ganar dinero\". http://www.99waystoskinacat.com/ 99 WAYS TO SKIN A CAT - OR - HOW TO REALLY MAKE MONEY ON THE INTERNET! |
