I always try to find examples as real as possible, but I have to say that the one about domain names and missing turnings is as real as life!!! JAJAJA Thanks Pepino!

He somehow manages to pronounce the "se me ha ido" part almost in one syllable (to my ears at least). It's incredible, and drives me insane! jeje PD. Loved the reference to the Domain names. What a perfect example given that Ben's addiction to Domains has had a few mentions in the Podcasts!

As you explained, in that case it is common to use only first sentence assumming that the other person will know the rest. For example: Cuando el rí­o suena... (for "cuando el rí­o suena, agua lleva") A quien madruga... (for "a quien madruga, Dios le ayuda") That is right Time, usually that happens with the “dichos” that are composed by two sentences.

It would be really handy if you could tell us what the shortened versions of these sayings are, so that we can start to recognise them when we hear them (and try to use them properly as well!).
