In questo episodio, ci addentreremo nell'origine dell'espressione "Stai fresco!", la quale affonda le sue radici nella Divina Commedia di Dante. Questa espressione è intrinsecamente sarcastica e trasmette l'idea che qualcosa sia altamente improbabile o che non abbiamo alcuna intenzione di compiere un'azione specifica.

Vi auguro una piacevole ascolto!
