“In boca lupo” in Spanish is “en la boca del lobo” and it actually means you got yourself in trouble for being somewhere you shouldn’t have. So… it doesn’t really mean the same.

Funny thing that “in the mouth of the wolf” means good luck in Italian. In Spanish we use that expression to say a place or situation is dangerous

We (the Dutch) have a kind similar expression as the German with “Es ist mir wurst”. In Dutch it is “Het zal me een worst wezen”. Love the similarities👌🏼

Vanity Fair, check your Italian spelling: gettare la spugna, fagiolo, guastafeste, essere fra le nuvole (avere la testa fra le nuvole)
