Concha y Toro

Question

Concha y Toro is a name of a Chliean wine. I know Toro means Bull and I thought Concha probably means horn but I looked up the translation and it means shell. So in English translation in "Shell and Bull" or is a loose english translation that still might mean "Bullhorn"'

Avoid it anyway.

Answer 6

Avoid it anyway.

Ah, Eddy, you never get my humor.

I was just poking fun at Guillermo's statement. His intent was to say "avoid it if you are in the presence of a woman," but the way he said it made it sound as though his advice only applied if facing the woman.

Humor that has to be explained is never funny...

This is a good example of how confusing the new quote function can be, especially when there are multiple quotes. At first glance, it appears that Eddy has not left a message, but if you look closely, you'll see that his note is embedded in the quotes ("Very good. hehehe").

I'm a member of other forums that have much better quote functions. I'd be happy to talk to an administrator about this.

Answer 14

Hi James
This is a classic example of not scrolling to the bottom of the existing quotes in the box.
