Reminds me of that line from the show Narcos that translates
to, "Silver, or lead."
In case someone misses this meaning, silver or lead refers to either accepting a bribe (silver, money) or taking a bullet (lead).
- masukomi 8y agothanks. i was assuming it was referring to which material for the bullet you were inevitably going to take.
- cpeterso 8y agoSilver bullets are only needed for shooting werewolves. :)
- FireBeyond 8y agoI always wondered about the stake through the heart for vampires. Like, "why specify 'for vampire'? Fairly certainly that kills anything."
- kngspook 8y agoAnd the original (pre-translation) version is, I believe, "plata o plomo".
- smnrchrds 8y agoIn French, the word for money is the same as the word for silver (argent). Is it the same in Spanish by any chance?
- pier25 8y agoDepends on the country. The regular word is "dinero". In Spain it's not common to use "plata" (silver) for money, but in Argentina it's what everyone uses. In Mexico they use "lana" (wool).
- brisance 8y agoIn modern Chinese and Japanese, the first Chinese character for the word "bank"（银行）means "silver".
