Line 247:

** '''Rocinante''': Horse thin and weak, almost always full of sores. This one was even documented by Cervantes in the Part II, Chapter III, when Carrasco declares that the first part of the novel got read…

{{quote| ''" by heart by people of all sorts, that the instant they see any lean hack, they say, 'There goes Rocinante.' "''}}

** '''Con la iglesia hemos topado''': Could be translated as "We have run onto the church". A case of ''both'' a meme and [[Beam Me Up Scotty]], as the original phrase is actually ''"Con la iglesia hemos dado, Sancho"''. In the book it is literal (they examine a stone wall and determine it is a church) but it is ''always'' quoted to denote a situation in which the Church, bureaucracy or some other power that be is impeding your progress.
