This phrase is not actually a slang, but a common saying or proverb in Spanish. It literally translates to 'When one door closes, a hundred open.' It is used to convey optimism, suggesting that when one opportunity or phase ends, many more possibilities become available.
Examples
- Spanish: Perdí mi trabajo, pero no me preocupo mucho. Como dice el dicho, 'cuando una puerta se cierra, cientos se abren'.
- English: I lost my job, but I'm not too worried. As the saying goes, 'when one door closes, a hundred open.'
