What is "agarrar colmillo"
 

Hello all,

I was wondering if someone could help me with the Spanish idiom "agarrar comillo". It was posted on a supermarket sign that said "Los niños aprenden enseñalos a agarrar comillo". In this poster there was also a small child pushing a shopping cart filled with healthy looking vegetables.

Thanks!!!:)

"Agarrar colmillo" is from Mexico. Someone from there will explain better, but I reckon it means something like "to learn or become wise or experienced; to learn the angles; to learn by practice". I suppose there is some play of words involving food and "colmillo" like "(to get one's teeth into / bite into) healthy food".

Alec is right. "Colmillo", in Mexico, means "experience".

"Agarrar colmillo" is to acquire a certain experience.

Many Thanks!!

One of my friends from Mexico gave me an example of "Agarrar Comillo".
He said it's like making a good buy at a flea market by not letting a seller take advantage of you. In this context maybe the word savvy would also be acceptable??.:confused:
