Idioms Reflect Culture!
The essence of this lesson is to convey to you, through our simple Spanish class, that idioms are deeply embedded in the tapestry of Spanish culture..
You know, sort of the way slang has become a solid form of communication in the English language.
La historia de agosto
To truly understand exactly how we’re making a killing (remember, this is just an expression, wink, wink), we need to delve into the history of the phrase.
¨Haga su Agosto¨ is literally translated to “make your August.” This term dates back several decades, possibly centuries, and is believed to have been born from the agricultural industry.
You see, August is the main harvest month, and farmworkers are pressed to get the crops off the fields as quickly as they can to meet the end of the season.
Easy money
This sort of work schedule helps the workers to earn “easy money” or “quick money” from their hard work.
There is also a somewhat negative connotation to the phrase when the origins of the “easy money” are a tad on the sketchy side. Again, a whole different blog post for another time.
More food, more money
The main point here is that a good, well-harvested field results in more food and more money in the off-season.
It also means that temporary farmworkers have options during summer to “make a killing” in the fields earning good pay for a short period.
