Nadie tiene bula
I read this in a newspaper from Spain. I think it means nobody has a clue.
Is the use of the term bula exclusive to Spain?

"Tener bula" means having granted permission to do something that is forbidden to others, or to acquire things that others are prevented to trade, or to have exemption on what is otherwise an obligation to common people. It comes from those papal decrees granting privileges or exemptions called "bulas" (bulls).

I suppose it's used only in Spain though it's pretty understandable elsewhere if you know what a bula is.
