Etymology
The phrase "sense embuts" comes from Catalan, where "sense" means without, and "embuts" literally means funnels. Figuratively, it implies speaking without filtering or channeling, like speech that flows freely without being funneled or softened. Did you know? The word "embut" used to refer to a funnel, symbolizing something that narrows or limits flow, so "sense embuts" suggests unfiltered, unrestricted expression.
