quankanne Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 This might be a bit off-topic, but does anybody here believe in ghosts? ¡Cucuí! Yes! El Cucuí is fantastic for scaring the crap out of misbehaving rugrats. Just ask George Lopez ... now, someone please answer honestly: Is "pinché" really a bad word? And not just spanglish for "pinchy" (stingy)? Link to post Share on other sites

westernxer Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 now, someone please answer honestly: Is "pinché" really a bad word? And not just spanglish for "pinchy" (stingy)? Yes, it's dirty. It's equal to the F word, pending on how you use it. Only used in Mexico, I believe. Link to post Share on other sites

ruby_gloom Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 now, someone please answer honestly: Is "pinché" really a bad word? And not just spanglish for "pinchy" (stingy)? I think west is right in that it is a foul word that comes from Mexico. Translated, it probably means either "f*ck" or "damn." Literally, I think it translates to "f*ck," just like "puto." The main difference, I think, is that it doesn't carry such a negative connotation as the latter. That's why I think that while literally it translates to "f*ck," it's probably taken to mean something more like "damn" when you say it . . . most of the time, anyway. Cussing in Spanish sounds worse than cussing in English, imo. Link to post Share on other sites

westernxer Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 donde es donde está The verb ser is used to indicate permanence, dates, times, place of origin, etc. Yo soy de México. Hoy es lunes. Somos americanos. Estar is used for location or feelings... mostly things that are temporary. Estoy bién. El está aquí conmigo. Estamos llegando a tiempo porque somos responsables. Ser vs. Estar is one of the hardest rules to remember, mostly because we use only one verb for this in English. There are other rules/variations/implications, but you get the point. I'll stop being an A-hole now. LOL Link to post Share on other sites

Storyrider Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 "Estoy embarrasada," means "I'm pregnant," in Spanish. I guess it still gets a laugh from native speakers when people try to say they are embarrassed and say this instead. Also, my friend learned to say "Para mis ojos," when he wanted a storekeeper to get something for him behind the counter in Mexico. It means "For my eyes," which is a figure of speech for "Can I have that please?" But when he used that phrase for condoms, they laughed at him! Go figure! Link to post Share on other sites
Trialbyfire Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Although this thread has long, long (largo) been beyond the title, everytime I see it, I hear this song. So in my bid to get rid of it out of my head even though I do love it, here it is: You're so cruel U2 [FONT=Verdana]We crossed the line Who pushed who over? It doesn't matter to you It matters to me We're cut adrift We're still floating I'm only hanging on To watch you go down My love I disappeared in you You disappeared from me I gave you everything you ever wanted It wasn't what you wanted The men who love you, you hate the most They pass RIGHT through you like a ghost They look for you, but your spirit is in the air Baby, you're nowhere Oh...love... You say in love there are no rules Oh...love... Sweetheart, You're so cruel Desperation is a tender trap It gets you every time You put your lips to her lips To stop the lie Her skin is pale like God's only dove Screams like an angel for your love Then she makes you watch her from above And you need her like a drug Oh...love... You say in love there are no rules Oh...love... Sweetheart… you're so cruel She wears my love like a see-through dress Her lips say one thing Her movements something else Oh love, like a screaming flower Love...dying every hour...love You don't know if it's fear or desire Danger the drug that takes you higher Head in heaven, fingers in the mire Her heart is racing, you can't keep up The night is bleeding like a cut Between the horses of love and lust We are trampled underfoot Oh...love... You say in love there are no rules Oh...love... Sweetheart… You're so cruel Oh...love... To stay with you I'd be a fool Sweetheart… You're so cruel[/FONT] Link to post Share on other sites
Storyrider Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 I am also reminded of some things by the original post: A boy I've pined for on and off over the years who married someone else. He was never the romantic figure I made him out to be, but he still occupies head/heart space. The book Wuthering Heights by E. Bronte and the song of same name by Kate Bush. The film Waking the Dead (with Jennifer Connelly and Billy Crudup). Wonder if you've seen it Mark? Link to post Share on other sites
