    I don’t speak the language, but my guess is that the Portuguese equivalent of “beating a dead horse” uses a dog instead?

      in pt-br: chutando cachorro morto

      literal translation: beating a dead dog

      in pt-pt: bater no ceguinho

      literal translation: beating the little blind person

      Yup you guessed it right.
