Saludos a todos.

¿Serían tan amables de ayudarme a encontrar el significado de una expresión? No la encuentro en ningún diccionario. Se trata de la parte en mayúsculas de la siguiente frase:

"The letter that was BLOWN ASIDE."

Les quedo muy agradecido.

agree  moken: Lyrics to Thin Lizzy's "Suicide" (that's going back a bit, 1975!). It refers to a note that nobody saw lying next to a corpse. "Desapercibida" could work, "carta invisible" could sound more poetic though it drifts from the original. :O) :O)
