TODAY'S IDIOM: TALK THROUGH YOUR HAT

"TALK THROUGH YOUR HAT"

If you're talking through your hat, you're talking about something without knowing much about it, or you claim something is true when it isn't.

Example: Evan says that quantum physics proves that space and time don't really exist, but Kathy says he's talking through his hat. 

Hablar sin fundamento.

Example sentences:

• I proved that George was talking through his hat by checking on the internet to find out if what he said is true - and it isn't / Demostré que George estaba hablando sin fundamento comprobando en internet para saber si lo que dijo es verdad.

• Our biology teacher says evolution is a fact, and that people who say it isn't real are talking through their hats. He says these people are simply wrong / Nuestro maestro de Biología dice que la evolución es un hecho y la gente que dice que no es real están hablando sin fundamento.

Additional examples:
