vae me, puto, concacavi me: Go for god, I think I've shit on it. These were the last words of Emperor Claudius before he died poisoned by Nero and his mother Agrippina through Locusta with a plate of mushrooms, according to Seneca's satirical work Apocolocyntosis divi Cloni: conversion into god? no, in a pumpkin. The complete Latin expression is this, but do not worry that I translate it: Ultima vox eius haec inter homines audita est , cum maioren sonitum emisisset illa parte , qua facilius loquebatur : "Vae me , puto , concacavi me" . Quod an fecerit , nescio : omnia certe concacavit . These were his last words among men, after releasing a solemn fart: Wow, I think I've shit. I don't know if it was, but he screwed it all up.

decebir: Old-fashioned verb derived from the Latin decipio (from capio), to deceive. Haec vos ne decipiat oratio : do not be deceived by this speech. Making believe that something false or unreal is true or real.

I think the surface can also be made of stones. Musicologists, anthropologists and historians place its origins in the Paleolithic.
poner pies en polvorosa: In colloquial language it means to flee precipitously, to escape, to whistle out of a compromised situation, as our Open Dictionary tells us. Probably its origin is in the battle of Polvoraria, (later Polvorosa, toponym of this area of Castilla-León) in the year 878 between Moors and Christians in the province of Zamora near Milles de la Polvorosa at the confluence of the rivers Tera and Órbigo with the Esla.
