Spanish S.O.S

I meant I think 'sabiola' came from 'sabio.' 'Mate' is a new one for head, but I am imagining one upside down and you do kind of have the head, the neck, and the shoulders.

It's quite common to call someone with a big head "Amanecer en el campo" the reason: "Puro mate".

Hmm. 'Country dawn' or the Sun. Coming up over the horizon and looking like a big head and shoulders? Like the shape of an upside down mate? That's about as close as I can come to that one. Perhaps a cultural difference would be that in some other cultures they might possibly not remind you constantly of your physical shortcomings. The official forum pelotudo, Caricosa, talked so lovingly about how Argies call each other midget and darkie and fatty and skinny and all of that. This is an example of the Argentine tendency to worship cultural elements that actually suck.

Jackson's shit eating, kunt lapping, butt fucking auto correct software has now apparently decided that anyone who talks about the star that is the center of our solar system will now be assumed to be abbreviating the seventh day of the week, thereby attaining a new all time low.

So fix that and I will see you all in a few years.[/QUOTE]Rotflol, this was like a pice of poetry! Come on Dickman, don't let it leave you out.

As a side note, another local slang word for head is " balero " (cup-and-ball) It is a bit old fashioned, but you can still hear it in tango circles.

I see very little interest in this topic... Maybe everybody is fluent in Spanish already or just speaks the language of love.

At the same time, there are many threads and very few see a lot of posting. Unless of course you want to discuss politics.
