Pretty sure it's a colloquial expression used to mean something like "paying your dues". Whatever. Press "1" for English. :biggrinjester:
I am not "pretty sure" I am positive. I am not offering opinion, I am offering fact.

Izquierda (pronounced something like “eskedra”) means left and derecho means right. piso means floor

Rangel was my wife's maiden name 48 years ago. We are still married and still love each other.
Was thinking the phrase might be "Derecho de paso". Derecha means "right" in the sense of left or right, and derecho means right as in civil right in the Spanish speaking places I've been. And piso means floor. Que piso? "What floor?" is what they always asked me in the elevator in South America. Derecho de paso...seems to translate as "right of passage" which makes more sense in cartel context... :???:
It is derecho de piso. Trust me......Spanish sayings do not always make literal scene when translated to English.
