Apestas más que una abubilla "matá" a escobazos
Hi friends .

This is one of the many funny sentences I've heard here in Seville.

Abubilla is a bird that stinks very bad ( specially its nest ).

Matá a escobazos means " killed by broom strokes" or something like that

Is there anything in English than can be used inthe same way ??


Thanks and hope you found it funny

No creo que se trate de olores de idéntica procedencia.
