Juego de manos, juego de marranos is a Spanish saying. The direct translation is ‘a game of hands, a game of pigs’. This was a cautionary statement my Colombian grandmother would make to me and my brother as children, warning us not to be surprised if one of us got hurt when we were fighting with each other.
