<DIV>Hi:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I was trying to discover what could be the Portuguese expression that was equivalent but I couldn't. We don't have "dead animals" anywhere (mooses, elephants, cats - any animal I can remember).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>But then, I have discovered with Agneta that we also have "dead humans". We also use the expression "a corpse in the wardrobe" - "um cadáver no armário", to be clear ;-)</DIV>
