En el episodio de hoy hablo del cuñado, pero no de manera literal, es decir no voy a hablar de la pareja de tu hermana. Voy a hablar de “el cuñao” como personaje de la cultura española. Te voy a hablar de sus características y voy a compartir algunas frases típicas de este tipo de personas.
Como siempre espero que disfrutes el episodio, si lo haces no te olvides de dejar una valoración y de pasarte por mi Instagram para decirme qué te ha parecido el episodio y si e tu país también existen “los cuñaos” y cómo los llamáis.
