A cabeciña non para. The little head does not stop.

By Roberto Vilar, comedian
This phrase, which is about 20 years old, has permeated Galician society. The expression was originally coined by comedian Roberto Vilar on a television show as a recurring phrase whenever his partner in the comedy duo, Los Tonechos, presented a crazy idea. Today, it is widely used in Galicia and has taken on additional meanings. People use it to describe crazy ideas or creative solutions to problems, but it can also express concern about an issue that you keep turning over in your mind.
