jajaja muy buena juluque xD al final la gente dice que diciendo patata se sienten paletos... xD - Zizoun, Feb 26, 2010

paleto* significa alguien poco refinado, que no está en la onda, que viene del campo, que es poco cool - Zizoun, Feb 26, 2010
Gracias Zizoun! - Benz, Feb 26, 2010

I think is because when you say whiskey your mouth ends in a position likely when you smile xD

Day by day the fancy habits in our society are taking away the traditional ones. It's a pity for me smile

traditional habits?? patata was never a traditional habit in Argentina Zizoun... they are just different places, different cultures, different customs... :) - Benz, Feb 26, 2010
Yea but I heard them between the people around me because they say it is more fancy instead of using the old traditions in Spain hehe, wasn't talking about other places :P - Zizoun, Feb 26, 2010
really?? jajaja - Benz, Feb 26, 2010
Of course jeje, ask someone from the age between 15-25 what they rather say when you are gonna make a picture of them, patata or whiskey? whiskey sounds more cool for them xD - Zizoun, Feb 26, 2010
No hablemos de palabras raras sin tener en cuenta como hablamos por allí abajo.OZU...jejeje:)) - melipiru, Feb 26, 2010

My uncle was a professional photographer and I still remember his hallmark expression. He was the obvious choice of photographer at family reunions, so I heard it dozens of times. It was extremely funny when I was a kid, which I suppose was the point... To make you smile. I still smile thinking back on the memories. smile He would say:

Everybody say Fuzzy Pickles! LOL

When you take a photo, you say "say cheese" and in Spanish:

¡Di patata!

There is a very funny scene in the Japanese film "Tokyo Monogatari" ("Tokyo Story) from the '50s directed by Ozu Yasujiro, in which during a group photo, a (somewhat "old-fashioned") Japanese man says "butter" (instead of "cheese") which results (with Japanese pronunciation) in a quite sever (if not scowling) expression. Both butter and cheese being considered "foreign" foods by the Japanese (and Chinese and, probably, the rest of the Asian countries), his confusion is understandable.
