Carrito de Don Fernando

A humorous way to say you are traveling on foot. It is the setup for a joke where the person says they are going a little while on foot and the rest walking, which are just two ways of saying the same thing. (The name Fernando is used because it rhymes with caminando, the Spanish word for walking).

- Man, you are going a long way, how are you getting there? I do not see your car. - Oh no, I am going in the Carrito de Don Fernando, a little bit on foot and the rest walking.
