@Poli: I had to Google it, and nobody around me has ever heard the expression used like that.
I think "sota, caballo y rey" is a collocation, because those three things always go in the same order, but the examples I found as "Mi día es sota, caballo y rey" to talk about daily routine, is completely new to me. I wouldn't even have understood at first if I had been talking to someone using it.
@Rusty: Oh, I have never seen that movie! I'll look for it.
