CATALAN: ¡Mira el caganatio! ‡‡
‡‡) “Look
at the shitting log!”
NOTE: Not an insult if pointing at a Catalunya Xmas
display. (However, if pointing at a specific person... If the foo shits, wear it,
as the saying goes.) El
Caganatio = Lit., “The shitting log...” — (El)
Caganatio is another Catalunya Cath.
Xmas trad. A log with a face carved or
painted on it is swathed in a blanket.
On Xmas eve the children shout at & abuse the log, exhorting the log to shit their Xmas
treats; when the blanket is removed the
Xmas treats are found, treats obligingly
shat out by the coprocopia known as (El) Caganatio.
