Quedarse con un palmo de narices
Quedarse con un palmo de narices.

Se utiliza esta locución para referirse a la situación de una persona que se ha quedado frustrada en un objetivo que aspiraba a conseguir. Este dicho tiene su origen en la unidad de medida “palmo”, que aludía a la distancia entre el extremo de los dedos pulgar y meñique de una mano al extenderse.
La expresión podría estar posiblemente relacionada con la forma de burla que consiste en colocar el dedo gordo en la punta de la nariz, extender la mano y mover los dedos. También podría ser sinónimo de ‘quedarse como un tonto’ en referencia a las grandes narices que utilizan, en el teatro o en el circo, los personajes cuya misión era hacer reír al público en sus papeles de graciosos.
