Grammar point: Idioms and figurative expressions (part 1)
At C2, choosing an idiom means choosing how an event unfolds in the reader's mind. In an account of insider trading on markets, expressions such as «echarse a rodar», «salpicar», «quedarse en agua de borrajas» and «dar por zanjado» present different phases and suggest different outcomes. They are not interchangeable colourful substitutes for neutral verbs.
