Mouthful

Mouthful
 

Random House gives this definition (4) for mouthful
4. Informal. a spoken remark of great truth, relevance, effectiveness, etc.: You said a mouthful!

What would be a good translation in Spanish for this specific meaning of "mouthful"?

(In the example I'd simply say, "¡Has dicho/dijiste una gran verdad!"

"Una verdad como un puño" is another option...

Any other ideas?

And if we say, That’s a mouthful but it’s true. probably it's not the same definition, but 5. a long word or group of words, esp. one that is hard to pronounce... although in my overall context seems like a combination of both meanings, 4 and 5...)

What do you think about "Eso es toda una parrafada, pero es una verdad como un puño"?

mouthful seems to me to be used mainly in the sense of when somebody has been supressing their opinion and finally lets rip with a broadside of criticism. For example:

She was fed up with his coming home drunk every night, and finally she gave him a mouthful.

(This mouthful might or might not be the truth, just a strong opinion.)

For some reason, I find it natural to use she as the subject. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

:D :lol: :lol: :lol:

That's rich, Perikles!

In that case,
ella le echó la bronca
or
ella acabó soltándole una parrafada que no veas...

(It reminds me a visual joke some friend sent me about 2 birds, and how to be able to know which one is the female and the male... If I find it I'll post it...) :wicked:

At any rate, thank you! :thumbsup:

Bueno, en español, se seguiría relacionando con la palabra "verdad": "...y le dijo sus verdades". :D
(No necesariamente verdad como tal, sino una firme opinión) :rolleyes:

¡Gracias, Malila!

Según tengo aprendido hasta ahora:

decir una gran verdad
cantar cuatro frescas
