Question

as in the following:

"Jorge te come las tapas Arturo."

is this a sarcastic insult directed at arturo, or am i getting the verb/subject confused?

Answer 1

It looks like the sentence isn't formed correctly but I think Jorge is eating appetizers with Arturo. Not an insult at all.

mmm, no, i'm pretty sure it was meant as something else and not literally. i thought maybe it was a colloquialism from a certain country, and if so, who the statement is directed toward and in what way (i.e., positive or negative) - doublebeatloaf, Jul 7, 2010
