Spanish term or phrase: Tirar manteca al techo
Le decimos así a una persona que, por ejemplo, tiene mucho dinero: "es tan pero tan ricachón, que tira manteca al techo".
También, por oposición, se dice así cuando a alguien no le va bien económicamente: "en su situación, la cosa no está como para andar tirando manteca al techo".
