Cortar y regresarme mis canicas

Cortar y regresarme mis canicas
 

Hi, I heard this expression once and don't know what it means, it was written: cortalas y regresame mis canicas.

do you happen to know what this means? Thanks so much

"Córtalas" is an expression associated to children when they want to break up friendship because they're mad at their friends.

"Canicas" are marbles, and children of former times used to play a lot with these toys. As those games frequently needed a child lending marbles to a friend, once friendship was broken, toys had to be given back to their original owner.

"Córtalas y regrésame mis canicas" is a joking way to say that you're mad at a friend and you're breaking up friendship, so you want your toys back, as if you were children fighting.


Btw, please only one thread per question. ;)
