Yet another humerous film quip has sailed over the heads of the gibbering, slack jawed, troglodytes to enter the vernacular,
sans humor.
"mano
y mano" is
Spanish for hand AND hand. Used for comedic effect, to imply mental simplicity, in several films. (Other variants include "mono y mono",
Spanish for monkey and monkey = malapropism el mejor)
("MANO A MANO" is Spanish for hand TO hand - combat...
This is the actual phrase that is so often mutilated)
"He dun call me ig'nint!"
"Reeallly, ignorant of what? Where would one start."
