SILLY and crazy according to the Diccionario de la Real Academia Española, means do one thing with disruption, without order or concert is very old phrase, which is already in Don Quixote in truncated verses, broken out, that the unknown, heading Urganda in the preliminary poetic part of the novel. By the way which then Cervantes, playing with the word, used this second image not only as adverbial expression, but in the simple sense, silly and crazy calling the damsels who are entertained in vain madness. Something like that becomes attributed cartoon to the contemporary playwright Jacinto Benavente, who, having proposed a few ladies who delivered a lecture at a club women, back in the twenties of this century, said that improvise, talk didn't like do silly and crazy do, playing with the literal sense and the word adverbial sense.?? However, we must add that this story, like so many others, has been attributed to Jacinto Benavente somewhat lightly. Although it is possible that they express so sarcastically, certainly that the phrase was not theirs. Indeed, the Licentiate Juan de Robles in the first part of the Sevillian worship, work of the 17TH century, writes, referring to the Augustinian Friar fray Juan Farfán: do Convidaronle certain nuns to preach a serious sermon, giving little place study.? Went to the pulpit and escusose it and topped the excuse saying: "But in the end, we today preached to silly and crazy, as " could do.? This must have been a quite vulgar joke in the last years of 16th century since that was also recorded in the dialogues of gentle Gaspar Lucas Hidalgo 40 entertainment;Barcelona, 41 1605;. And likewise in Luis Quiñones de Benavente, in the 17TH century, as the character Cosme says in his hors d'oeuvres of the soldier: of aquestas words few not agraviéis you, ladies, no; that you know I say stupid and crazy.
