The origin of the term: with donkeys in the water

Designated when someone makes an effort to achieve something and fails, the phrase comes from the times of colonial Brazil, which, between the 17th and 18th centuries, saw the need to sell gold, cocoa and coffee between the South and the Southeast and adopted the idea of ​​the Spanish colonizers, who transported loads on donkeys or between Potosí (Bolivia) and Porto Belo (Panama). mules.

It was common for troop conductors to face torturous paths. Often they literally found their donkeys in the water – on flooded crossings where animals drowned. As the owner of the merchandise bore the damage, the phrase came to be used whenever someone got the worst of it.
