tener más cuento que calleja 9
Popular expression with which we point out those who lie or exaggerate excessively their own merits and qualities or their own weaknesses and evils to inspire sorrow. Saturnino Calleja founded the Editorial Calleja in Madrid in the 70s of the nineteenth century coming to publish hundreds of thousands of children's stories and other works in pedagogical collaboration with the Free Institution of Education. Thus the Calleja publishing house came to have so many stories that some cat came up with the expression.
