spanish expressions of the day:

“[name of a place] está donde Cristo perdió el mechero.” “[name of a place] está donde Cristo dio las tres voces.” “[name of a place] está donde Cristo perdió los clavos.” “[name of a place] está donde Cristo perdió las sandalias.”

Translation and examples:

El Ikea está donde Cristo perdió el mechero - The Ikea is where Christ lost his lighter.

El colegio está donde Cristo dio las tres voces - The school is where Christ screamed thrice (but + literally: where Christ gave the three voices.)

El museo está donde Cristo perdió los clavos - The museum is where Christ lost the nails.

Tu casa está donde Cristo perdió las sandalias - Your house is where Christ lost the sandals.

And all these Christ-y expressions mean ‘in a remote place.’
