Salve!
Ecco la frase idiomatica della settimana = Here’s your weekly Italian Idiom, brought to you by Italiano With Jodina:
“Chi non ha testa ha gambe.”
Literally, this means ‘He who doesn’t have his head, has legs.” Used in situations where someone is absent-minded and drops the ball because of not thinking, and then has to do extra leg-work to make up for the error.
For example, you are rushing around to get out the door to go a meeting, and when you arrive, you realize you’ve forgotten some critical documents. Now you have to go all the way back home to get them. Because you weren’t paying attention with your testa (head) in the first place, you now have to compensate with your gambe (legs).
“Chi non ha testa ha gambe!”
