the itching of the forties Explanation: ¨La regada de los cuarenta¨ is similar and has the same meaning as ¨las metidas de pata de los cuarenta¨ They are in reference to those classical mistakes a person in his 40´s are able to commit. I remember something like ¨la comezón de los 40´s¨: the itching of the forties. |

arrival (of the surrealists) in the 1940s Explanation: The only thing I can think of is that "las cuarenta" might be a typo. "Regada de los cuarenta" might then refer to the arrival of the surrealists - http://www.uam.mx/difusion/casadeltiempo/40_may_2017/casa_de... "Las cuarenta" is a card term from tute but I can't see how that would fit here. Reference: http://www.uam.mx/difusion/casadeltiempo/40_may_2017/casa_de... |

Reference: This might help Reference information: La baraja española es un mazo o conjunto de cuarenta naipes o cartas de la baraja. Antiguamente era muy frecuente la regada de cuarenta naipes. Existen versiones menos regadas de cincuenta y cinco naipes para poder jugar a otros juegos. Los naipes están divididos en cuatro "familias" o "palos". Los palos son "oros", "copas", "espadas" y "bastos", a cada uno de los cuales le corresponde su iconografía característica. Cada palo tiene doce cartas: nueve cartas numeradas del uno al nueve, llamadas cartas numéricas y tres figuras numeradas correlativamente del diez al doce. En la actualidad, las figuras son la "sota" (con el número 10), el "caballero", llamado coloquialmente "caballo" a pesar de que es un caballero montado (con el número 11) y el "rey" (con el número 12). Todas las figuras se representan de cuerpo entero. https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baraja_española -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 17 mins (2020-01-28 22:27:35 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I think it might mean 'deck of 40 playing cards'. |
