Meaning of verdad de perogrullo




Felipe Lorenzo del Río

verdad de perogrullo
  19

Truth so obvious, simple and tautological as Perogrullo calling to the closed hand fist. Truism is a paremiological character, product of popular imagination that says platitudes. Some say that in the century XV lived in Cantabria a hermit, called cricket but that prophesied platitudes, as that " the first day of January which will be the first day of the year and that that day will dawn dawn ". This character also appears in Don Quixote. Also the platitudes liked Quevedo, to whom we owe the word.
