Modismos, Coloquialismos y Refranes (Spanish and English) – Part III

Modismos, coloquialismos, y refranes (idioms, slangs, and sayings) are parts of almost every level of Spanish class. They are discussed from the simplest (ones whose meanings one can guess) to the most mind-boggling (where words are just strings of letters from an alien world). Sometimes, modismos, coloquialismos y refranes are tackled following a certain theme, like body parts or colors. I am quite confident with naming body parts in Spanish (medical terms are not included), so guessing the meaning of the phrase can be a little easier. Meanings of colors are a bit problematic for me because red can mean many things – from love to murder. So my hypotheses are mostly gibberish and garbage. 

For this part of modismos, coloquialismos y refranes, I will write about body parts and colors. I am writing this so I will remember them, and maybe the list can help someone learning Spanish or English.
