Cynthia Herber, LL.M.
: Although nudillos is REALLY the right word for knuckles, I think we are dealing with a saying or "dicho" or expression, more than a word-by-word translation. It depends where it is going to be published. In Mexico is Tronarse los Dedos

Yes, I think we all undersand this by now, Spanish is wonderfully varied, though there are "standard" ways to say things Saludos!

: knuckles=nudillos and fingers=dedos//1.No sabemos si es para Mexico 2. Imposible saber lo que dicen 100 millones; a menos que exista una encuesta 3. En TODOS los paises se utilizan terminos q no son necesariamente correctos.

Claro que sí, mi estimada, pero cuando menos en México así se dice y más de 100 millones no pueden equivocarse.
