A toughy for the natives... "truck on a stick"

Question

So, in today's picture of the day (very funny by the way see here) I attempted a funny statement in English that turned out to be a real toughy in Spanish.

The statement was, "Truck on a stick anyone?" With the help of the great Deanski and the sweet Cogumela we all took stabs at what it could possibly be, but we're just not positive. So natives I want you to offer your best guess (pweeez).

Saludos,

Answer 1

camioneta en brocheta

Haha, love it. - margaretbl, Mar 30, 2011

Well, not a bad idea, but what does the full sentence mean? - cogumela, Mar 30, 2011

In English, "on a stick" means on a thin wooden skewer, and they sell things to eat on a stick at fairs. I just picked my phrase because it rhymed like a typical saying. :) - lorenzo9, Mar 30, 2011

Answer 2

If the truck were higher up on the metal pole, I suppose you could say "Una paleta de camioneta" but this might not be understood outside of Mexico where "paleta" is "popsicle."

Another possibility: "Una camioneta casada con un palo."

I don't agree, Julian, because it just does not make sense. - cogumela, Mar 30, 2011

Laura, I think this may a "guy thing" - 005faa61, Mar 30, 2011

I agree with Julian. Knowing what a "paleta" is in Mexico, it makes as much sense to me as "truck on a stick". - Gekkosan, Mar 30, 2011

Oh- camioneta casada doesn't make sense to me either. - Gekkosan, Mar 30, 2011

pues yo estoy con cogu, no tiene sentido alguno - 00494d19, Mar 30, 2011

Answer 3

You have to find the equivalent concept in Spanish, in order to produce an interpretation.

I can think of the following options:

"pincho de camión"

"chupetín de camión"

"camión en vara"

"paleta de camión"

"camión en palito"

Answer 4

The best I can manage, and you must remember this is México norte. and I am not a native speaker

"Camión pegado en un palo"

I don' agree, paco, because I can't understand that. - cogumela, Mar 30, 2011
