Cambio a tercio
Just when I think I understand a language I stumble upon cambio a tercio:thinking:
|
Could it be cambio de tercio? This means 'switch gears' or 'change the subject'.
|
No sé pero lo que dijo Rusty me parece bueno..
Busqué google "cambio a tercio" y solamente me dio la respuesta "cambio de tercio" |
Estoy de acuerdo: cambio de tercio. :)

Agree with "cambio de tercio". It means, as stated, 'switch gears' or 'change the subject'.
It has a bullfighting origin. In bullfighting, you have three different phases/steps ("tercios): first: to make the bull weaker with a horse second: To make fiercer the bull with the "banderillas" Third: The "torero" moves the bull and kills him . So if you "cambias de tercio" it means you change subject from Wikipedia, but shortenedhttp://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrida_de_toros Quote:

Thank you Sosia. I thought it may have meant changing to third gear while driving.
Ahora veo que es un modismo taurino. |
You don't hear that in Chile. I am not sure in countries that have/had bullfighting in LA.
