Nice one! - AnnRon, Aug 26, 2015

Thanks, Ann. :) - rac1, Aug 26, 2015

"Bicho" means "insect" or sometimes "vermin" No te entiendo, amiga. - Daniela2041, Aug 26, 2015

I'm a rare bug???? - Daniela2041, Aug 26, 2015

How to say "You have outdone yourself!" in Spanish? Muy bueno! - jrschenk, Aug 26, 2015

You are good! - katydew, Aug 26, 2015

is really 'weirdough' an equivalent for 'bicho raro'? sos una bicha rara rac :D - Pablo064, Aug 27, 2015

jrschenk 'te superaste' :D - Pablo064, Aug 27, 2015

Gracias, Pablo! - jrschenk, Aug 27, 2015

It wouldn't make sense in Spanish, so in Spanish, I said, " I'm a weirdo" :) - rac1, Aug 27, 2015

Answer 3

¿ Es pan en tu bol, o sólo te gusta verme ?

Punch me before I rise again!

This has all the makings of some kind of good joke... - jrschenk, Aug 26, 2015

Something like "whack-a-molé" ? (adding the accent to avoid confusion and accentuate the pun) - roveg, Aug 27, 2015

Answer 5

Edgar Allen Poe's story of the Tell-Tale Bread.

La historia del Tell-Tale Bread por Edgar Allen Poe.

¡Otra respuesta increíblemente buena! - jrschenk, Aug 26, 2015

Answer 6

El consumo se detiene un corazón que late.

Consumption stops a beating heart.

"se" is not needed here, OK? By "cosumption" do you mean "eating"? And "that" stops a beating heart"? - Daniela2041, Aug 26, 2015

;) - jrschenk, Aug 26, 2015

OK :) "Consumption" means generally means "eating," although it is more abstract (e.g. the consumption of gas by a car.) "Cosumption," would mean something like "do it together"if it were a word, - roveg, Aug 27, 2015

"Consumption" is used in the sense of a generalization, not a specific act, and adding"that" changes the meaning, allowing that perhaps some consumption doesn't stop... - roveg, Aug 27, 2015

I apologize for my poor formatting, the comment window is very small and the ipad makes it hard to use. - roveg, Aug 27, 2015

Answer 7

Hongo jefe: A la cuenta de tres, todo el mundo tomen tome una respiración profunda y estamos fuera de aquí. Listo? Uno, dos, tres. ¡Cuentos chinos! Respire más profundamente esta vez.

Chief fungus: On the count of three, everybody take a deep breath and we're out of here. Ready? One, two, three. Phooey! Breathe more deeply this time.

(I'm not sure whether "todo el mundo" requires "tome" or "tomen." Advice and other corrections appreciated.)

Ann, I would use tome because it's "todo" not "todos". Spanish speaking people "makes" the same error in English. English speakers have to be careful of the collective noun syntax. - Jubilado, Aug 26, 2015

Gracias, Jubilado. - AnnRon, Aug 26, 2015

;) - jrschenk, Aug 26, 2015

One variation:El Jefe de los Hongos: A la cuenta de tres todos respiren profundamente y nos vamos. (This is more like native speakers would sayit.) - Daniela2041, Aug 26, 2015

I have never heard of "cuentos chinos" for "Phooey" I normally use ¡Caray! or ¡Caramba! or some Mexican interjection which most people here would not recognize. - Daniela2041, Aug 26, 2015

If you can tell me where you heard or read "cuentos chinos" I would appreciate it. - Daniela2041, Aug 26, 2015

Daniela, I found it at oxforddictionaries.com. It is labeled colloquial Latin American Spanish--doesn't specify a country. - AnnRon, Aug 26, 2015

OK, Ann, cool! I'll check it out and add it to my vocabulary. Thanks♥ - Daniela2041, Aug 27, 2015

I know the other meaning for 'cuento chino-lie, trick, swindle' (in singular) - Pablo064, Aug 27, 2015

Ann I researched 'phoeey' and now I know what it means I can tell you that really 'cuentos chinos' doesn't make sense in this context :D - Pablo064, Aug 27, 2015

"Chinese tales" is what I get out of the translator when I plug in "cuentos chinos." I agree that doesn't make sense, but does every colloquial exclamatory expression have to make sense? Here's a link to the page where I . . . - AnnRon, Aug 27, 2015

. . . found it: http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/us/translate/english-spanish/phooey. Maybe you would want to leave a comment? - AnnRon, Aug 27, 2015

It's the new artificial heart.

"artificial" en español. Creo que "artificialis" es latín, ¿que no? - Daniela2041, Aug 26, 2015

You're right, Daniela. I had the wrong button pressed on Google Translate. Thanks!! ;-) - Winkfish, Aug 26, 2015

Hmph! That's what you get for using a translator! Jejejeje!♥ - Daniela2041, Aug 26, 2015

I remember one time when I was translating legal documents, instead of doing it the hard way, using my legal dictionary I used a translator, and when I saw the result it looked like one of my first semester students had done it. :-) - Daniela2041, Aug 26, 2015

Haha! Yes, I know. I try to double check, but I've been run off my feet at work, so I was rushing. Sorry. ;-) - Winkfish, Aug 27, 2015

Answer 13

Cuando el pan esta fermentando, es muy delicado , por eso es necesario cubrirlo y tenerlo en un lugar caliente. De ninguna manera podemos dejarlo así.

When the bread is fermenting, it is very delicate, so it is necessary to cover it and keep it in a warm place. By no means we can leave it this way.

Good, Porcu...By no means can we leave it this way. :) - sanlee, Aug 26, 2015

..es mu delicado (not 'lo')..necesario cubrirlo y tenerlo (not 'de') ;) - Pablo064, Aug 27, 2015
