If he was "Tonto" nobody thought to ask him , he is too silly to know , LR protected him that way. - ray76, Feb 26, 2011

Ayyy chico, ¡espabílate! Hay varios lugares adecuados donde realizan perforaciones de lengua. Este no es uno de ellos.

Hey kid, wise up! There are several suitable places where they pierce tongues. This isn't one of them.

Your sentence is correct, tiny mistake in "esto"--> este. However, it could sound more natural, my suggestion would be something like: Eh, chaval...¡espabila! Hay sitios más adecuados para perforarse la lengua. ¡Este no es uno de ellos! Great, Sally :) - cogumela, Feb 26, 2011
Thanks Cogu - I'll leave my (corrected) version so people can see both. :) - galsally, Feb 27, 2011

I'm pretty sure the cactus recipe includes plucking the needles.

Estoy bastante seguro de que la receta del cactus incluye arrancar las espinas.

The cactus seems to be moving away from the guy... “Back off buddy, I'm spoken for!”

El cactus parece estar alejándose del chico... “¡No lo hagas, güey, sé de lo que estoy hablando!”

De niña hice lo mismo, pero con los dedos y no con la lengua. ¡Nunca volví a hacerlo!

As a girl I did the same thing, only with my fingers and not my tongue. I never did it again!

No entiendes - tengo que hacer esto - esto es un desafío. Después, voy a poner mi lengua en un poste de metal congelado.
