Ginjeira

Nice little idiomatic expression here: "Conhecer de ginjeira" =a Ginjeira is a sour cherry tree and to know someone from the sour cherry tree seems to mean you know them well and you won't be taken in by their shenanigans 🍒 The origin is a little vague but Ciberduvidas suggests maybe it stems from the idea that you have known someone since you were young and used to go scrumping cherries together. https://ciberduvidas.iscte-iul.pt/consultorio/perguntas/a-origem-da-expressao-conhecer-de-ginjeira/17921
