Telling someone to &#8220;go and fry asparagus&#8221; sounds amusing, but it&#8217;s actually an expression of annoyance. It&#8217;s used to get rid of someone, the equivalent of &#8220;Get lost&#8221; or &#8220;Get out of here&#8221;. In the video above, In\u00e9s explains several other expressions that can be used in the same way&#8230; some of them quite vulgar.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Transcription:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hi! I\u2019m In\u00e9s Alba, from Real Spanish.<\/p>\n<p>Have you ever heard the expression &#8220;mandar a fre\u00edr esp\u00e1rragos&#8221;? Although frying asparagus may not seem like an unpleasant action, this expression is used when we want to get rid of someone annoying, who is bothering us.<\/p>\n<p>It is a fairly mild expression compared to others with the same meaning but more vulgar, such as: &#8220;mandar a la porra&#8221; or &#8220;mandar al carajo.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The porra (baton) is the elongated weapon used by the police, but the expression seems to come from the military world. Formerly porra was a stick that the sergeants stuck in the ground and any soldier who was punished had to stay there.<\/p>\n<p>As for the carajo, it seems that it comes from the marine world, since it was the observation post of the ships. This was a very high place and difficult to access. It was the perfect place to send those sailors who were annoying or those whom they wanted to get out of the way.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I hope you don&#8217;t have to use any of these expressions, but just in case, it&#8217;s better to know them, right?<\/p>\n<p>See you soon!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #009193;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Did you enjoy this trocito?\u00a0 <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCB-t7BIu9lqXF3b6htzw73w\">Follow us on YouTube<\/a><\/span> so you don&#8217;t miss them!<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #009193;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Please leave us a comment, a question, or a suggestion: we&#8217;d love to hear from you!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #009193;\">Enjoy your Spanish with us!
