again, i must postpone the blogging until after the slogging. but here's some jerga to keep you entertained:
-aventón: a ride (as in, pedir un aventón) - mexico. love this term, wish it was used everywhere.
-un pai: literally, "a pie" - but meaning a hot and sexy lady with lots of cleavage and ass. i think this is panamanian.
-pritty: cool. apparently this is the newest panamanian slang for 'cool' - chévere will no longer suffice. it feels weird saying it, but i'm going to do like the locals do and try it out for a week.
-che: hey. this is Argentinian, and it's the reason that El Che has that El.
-huevón: carajo/idiot, but sort of in an endearing way. this is very very Chilean.
funny joke recently told me by a funny Chilean:
Q: Qué dijo la mujer cuando alguien la preguntó si ella fue afectada por vivir cerca de la autopista?
A: noooOOOOOOoooo.
I think that this one works better spoken (doppler effect, etc). Okay, ciao for now, dearly beloved and sadly neglected blog. My digits are itching to do some prestidigitation on this mother of a board, but it'll have to wait.
