معنی
To blush intensely due to embarrassment or sun exposure.
زمینه فرهنگی
In Spain, this is a very common way to tease someone gently about their shyness. Mexicans often use 'ponerse rojo como un tomate' more frequently than the crab variation, though both are understood. In Argentina, the focus is often on the intensity of the color, and they might use 'colorado' instead of 'rojo'. Colombians use this idiom in casual settings to describe both embarrassment and sun exposure, similar to Spain.
