Españolada
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Españolada (translated in English as Typically Spanish) is a derogatory term to those artistic works that gives an exaggerated image of Spanish people based on stereotypes. One of the most notorious example is the Andalusian folklore, being (for example) flamenco very popular among foreign people.[1]
This term has another meaning that focuses on any flamboyant and messy effort that actually is worthless, for example the expression:[2]
Matar a una hormiga con una bomba atómica
To kill one ant with one atomic bomb
