Does anyone know what flojucha means?
In an episode of Los Simpson, Bart said something to Lisa after she threw him on the floor with a judo move :
Bart - "..... eres una flojucha......... " ( from Spanish subtitles )
not in dictionary !

The word is "flojo" + "ucha", a suffix used to add a pejorative or scornful tone.

This came up on a Google search.
It seems to fit Homer Simpson. Whaddya think.
Thanks very much! I'm now reading the Spanich version of Twilight and trying to keep up with the new words ![]()
the word is "flojucha" and besides the Simpson's also appears in the spanish translation of Twilight, Crepúsculo, where bella describes herself, "Siempre he sido delgada, pero más bien flojucha y, desde luego, no una atleta."
Since I couldn't find it either I finally found a friend who did know the word, supposedly. He describes it to mean: kind of chubby, flacid body, little belly.
The more I learn about Spanish the more corrupted I have found it to be and the more uneducated the people to be. Translators for TV, English to Spanish, still use "secundaria" for High School. Over 35 years ago it was changed to "Preparatorio" and the education system was changed to match that of the US: Primary (primaria) 1-6, Junior High (secundaria) 7-9, and High School (preparatoria) 10-12 (this reflects Mexico's equivalents. I realize some areas Jr. High is only 7-8 and Sr High 9-12.
Are you sure of the spelling? A floja is a lazy person, a buchifloja is a person who is all feathers but no meat, but I've never seen anything close to that...not around here anyway. Maybe later when more people from other places will come, and they can tell you how they speak in their areas. ![]()
