Jaloncito de orejas
Does darle a alguien un jaloncito de orejas mean
1) to scold someone, or 2) to "put a bug in someone's ear" (meaning to give someone a friendly suggestion)? They're very different meanings of course, and I seem to have heard both. Not to be a stickler for grammar, but either way, shouldn't it be a la oreja since the ears themselves aren't the ones doing the pulling? Last edited by Glen; January 10, 2013 at 08:26 PM.
