Val. «Tindre tapadora per a tots els perolets»
It is said when somebody has an answer for every question or when somebody has always something to say with regard to a subject in a conversation. It is used for people who have a strong personality and who speak with an eloquent tone.
Example:
No matter how long you try to convince him, he has a lid for every little casserole
Ja pots intentar convéncer-lo, que ell sempre té tapadora per a tots els perolets.
Linguistic clarifications: 1) As in many words in Valencian, the /d/ in tapadora normally drops in spontaneous speech, so it is pronounced tapaora. 2) perolet is the diminutive form of perol (= casserole/pot). Diminutive forms are highly used in Valencian.
