La carne de burro no es transparente

[ROBINDESBOIS]

In Spain when somebody is standing in front of you and prevents you from watching something we say la carne de burro no es transparente, is there sth similar in English?

[pjt33]

¡Qué fuerte! No conozco una frase parecida en inglés - "Excuse me" me parece lo más adecuado.

You're right, pjt, it's rather rude, but one usually tends to use it in friends or family groups, so it's just assumed as a joke.

Ese dicho es bueno y muy divertido!

In fact I used it the other day, I was trying to watch TV, an American Friend was in the way, And I told him, The meat of Cows is not transparent and he understood what I meant. HAHAHHAHHAHA

Uhm, isn't a 'burro' a donkey?
(Or in this case probably more suitable: an ass? )

[Elaina]

Yep!

burro = donkey or ass

I've said:
You're blocking my view.
I can't see through you.
You're not a window, you know.
Move out of the way.

I love "can't see through you" and "you're not a window"!
