This Spanish slang phrase literally translates to 'The dead and the added one stink after three days.' It's used to refer to the idea that visitors are nice for the first few days, but they can become a nuisance if they stay too long.
Examples
- Spanish: Mi primo ha estado en mi casa por una semana. Ya sabes lo que dicen, 'El muerto y el agregado a los tres días hieden'.
- English: My cousin has been at my house for a week. You know what they say, 'The dead and the guest stink after three days.'
