Clarification request(s) and response
Kathryn Litherland: 11:57am Oct 16, 2006: Creo que esta mal dicho para "coming out of the woodwork" (aparecer en gran número después de estar ocultado, como cucarachas del maderaje). No sé un dicho equivalente en español.

cuelgan de donde menos uno se lo espera
Explanation:

Tony's English-Spanish LIS Dictionary, 4.8
