To blow on cold stock


Val. «Bufar en caldo gelat»

Bufar en caldo gelat significa esforçar-se inútilment o bé fer ostentació d'una situació benestant que realment no es posseïx.


---------------------------


It means to make an effort in vain, because there is no solution for a situation and all the remedies make things worse. It also means to flaunt a healthy situation when you don't really belong to the middle-class.
