If you're learning Spanish, this image will help you remember a very common expression.
¿Any guesses?
¿te suena?
The expression is "hacer la vista gorda".
Literally, it means "to make one's sight thick".
Another strange expression, right?
But the idea is very easy to understand.
It means "choosing to ignore something you know is wrong".
The phrase plays on the idea of eyesight being so thick or blurry that the details go unnoticed.
Some close English equivalents could be "to turn a blind eye, to look the other way, and to let it slide".
