Jimeno Álvarez

corto el bacalao
  20

It is often used to refer to the person who sends or is in charge of a group of people. The origin of this expression goes back to the 16th century, when the salt cod began to acquire a commercial relevance in our country, especially in Catalonia and the Basque country. This fish came to be replaced in Spanish households to air dried hake, that began to run out and be prohibitive for most disadvantaged classes.
