This Spanish slang phrase is a vulgar way to express the idea that sexual attraction or love can make a person do things they normally wouldn't. Literally it translates to 'a pubic hair pulls stronger than 100 oxen'.
Examples
- Spanish: Juan está tan enamorado de Ana que haría cualquier cosa por ella. Como dice el dicho, 'un pelo de concha tira más que 100 bueyes'.
- English: Juan is so in love with Ana that he would do anything for her. As the saying goes, 'the attraction of a woman can make a man do things he normally wouldn't'.
