Seven funny things i’ve said in spanish
- 2. ERROR #1: “UN CAFÉ DE MOCHA”
- 3. “A MOCHA COFFEE” IS WHAT I WANTED TO SAY • BUT I SAID “DAME UN CAFÉ DE MOCO”. •THIS SENTENCE CAUSED A FEW GIGGLES. WHY? •THE WORD, “MOCO” MEANS “SNOT” OR “MUCOUS”!
- 4. ERROR #2:“SU PERRO JUELLE RICO” THE WORD “PERRO” MEANS DOG AND I WANTED TO SAY, “YOUR DOG SMELLS GOOD.” (THE DOG HAD JUST COME FROM THE GROOMERS.)
- 5. BUT IT SOUNDED LIKE I SAID “PEDO” SEE, I AM NOT VERY GOOD AT ROLLING MY R’S.. SO IT CAME OUT SOUNDING LIKE “SU PEDO JUELLE RICO,” WHICH CAUSED EVERYONE TO LAUGH. WHY? BECAUSE PEDO MEANS “FART”. YEP, I HAD ACTUALLY SAID: “YOUR FART SMELLS GOOD!”
- 6. ERROR #3: “TIENE SOPA?” I WAS IN THE BATHROOM AND I WANTED TO WASH MY HANDS, BUT WE WERE OUT OF SOAP. SO I ASKED MY SPANISH-SPEAKING MOTHER-IN-LAW “DO YOU HAVE SOAP?”
- 7. IT TOOK HER FOREVER TO RETURN! •WHEN SHE FINALLY CAME BACK, SHE BROUGHT ME A MICRO-WAVED BOWL OF SOUP. •WHY? (GULP) BECAUSE “SOPA” MEANS “SOUP.” •SOAP TO WASH YOUR HANDS = “JABON”
- 8. ERROR #4: ESTOY MUY EXITADA! I SAID“YO ESTOY MUY EXITADA SER AQUI.” IN ENGLISH: “I’M REALLY EXCITED TO BE HERE!”
- 9. UNFORTUNATELY! I SHOULD HAVE SAID “YO ESTOY MUY EMOCIONADO SER AQUI” WHY? BECAUSE “ESTOY MUY EXITADA” TRANSLATES TO ... READY? “I’M VERY HORNY BEING HERE!” DEFINITELY NOT GOOD.
- 10. ERROR #5 “VAMOS A LA CASA” •I WANTED TO SHOW AN ATTRACTIVE HEAVY-SET WOMAN A HOUSE, SO I SAID TO HER, “VAMOS A LA CASA” WHICH MEANS, “LET’S GO TO THE HOUSE,”RIGHT?
- 11. EXCEPT THAT I SAID CAMA NOT CASA •“VAMOS A LA CAMA” MEANS “LET’S GO TO BED”. •AND I SAID IT RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY WIFE TOO! •THE WOMAN LAUGHED IT OFF, WITH , “SI, SI, VAMOS A LA CAMA.” •I DON’T THINK I’VE EVER LIVED THAT ONE DOWN!
- 12. ERROR #6: THE WORD “LA BALLENA” •THE WORD “LA BALLENA” IN SPANISH MEANS “WHALE”. SO “LA BALLENA GRANDOTE” = HUGE WHALE.
- 13. TWO L’S IN A WORD = A JAY SOUND •IN PLACES LIKE ARGENTINA AND SPAIN, THE DOUBLE L SOUNDS MORE LIKE A “JAY” SOUND. •SOMETIMES I DO THIS THINKING I SOUND COOL •SO I SAID “LA BAJAYNA GRANDOTE”. SAY IT NOW! •WHEN I SAID IT, SOMEONE BURST OUT LAUGHING! THEY THOUGHT I SAID, “THE ENORMOUS VAGINA.”
- 14. ERROR #7 THE WORD “GANGAS” •THE NEIGHBORHOOD LOOKED SHADY SO I SAID “HAY GANGAS AQUI?” ARE THERE GANGS AROUND HERE?
- 15. GANGAS ACTUALLY MEANS COUPONS •OR “BARGAINS” •NOT REALLY APPROPRIATE WHEN YOU’RE IN A BAD NEIGHBORHOOD UNLESS MAYBE YOU’RE SEARCHING FOR A DISCOUNT ON SOME DRUGS OR GUNS?! •THE WORD “BANDA” MEANS “GANG” AND “GANGAS” MEANS COUPONS.
- 16. CHICKEN AND KITCHEN • ACTUALLY THIS ONE IS A SWITCH-UP FOR MY SPANISH SPEAKING FRIENDS. THEY GET CONFUSED WITH THESE TWO WORDS. FOR EXAMPLE, MY FRIEND SAID TO ME IN ENGLISH, “HEY, WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE MY BIG CHICKEN?” I SAID “SURE.”
- 17. WHERE’S THE DAMN CHICKEN? • AND HE BROUGHT ME TO HIS BIG, MODERN KITCHEN. • “WELL, WHAT DO YOU THINK?” HE ASKED. • I SAID, “IT’S NICE BUT..
- 18. THAT’S IT FOR NOW •HOPE YOU ENJOYED IT! •SHARE THE GIANT VAGINAS AND CHICKENS WITH YOUR FRIENDS AND HAVE A FANTASTIC DAY! •FOR MORE FUN STORIES, CHECK OUT •WWW.SELLINGOUTSIDETHESQUARE.COM
