Mystery sentence of the night 57: ...super pelao....

Question

Soooo:

Context: Not in a bar this time, but diving!!!! I was diving in La Azohía this time and I said this:

¡Joéeee! Todo estaba super pelao.

jeje So let's see what you can make of this one.

And I just know those great guessers will have a go at it, I am always surprised that you finally come up with an answer!

The challenge: Find out what we were talking about or what he meant Please do not google the answer Translate in English

Do not investigate on the web! I want to see what you thought or guessed, not what you found out

No Spanish speaking natives.

If a native has no idea, then guess too, jeje, I was often quite lost when Gekko said some of his sentences.

Anyway, if you are sure, don't say anything until more members have tried their luck

Uff this is a doozy Heidi!! - pacofinkler, Jul 11, 2011

Guys, Joeee has already come up in previous mystery threads ;) - bomberapolaca, Jul 12, 2011

Answer 1

F@#%!! It was all very bare, deserted, empty or kind of lifeless!!

You dived but didn't see what you had expected. The spot where you dived in didn't have any exciting creatures, sea animals or fish, so it's like a bald head, Simply there was nothing there.

Congrats, SpanishPal! :) - bomberapolaca, Jul 13, 2011

Answer 4

¡Joéeee! Todo estaba super pelao.

Joe! I was all hairlike. "pelao" looks like pelo to me. That is my guess.

welcome to my threads and the forum....well, in these threads nothing really means what it looks like, jeje, so: frío frío - 00494d19, Jul 11, 2011

Welcome to the forum CoCo, I give you a vote just for trying:) - Yeser007, Jul 11, 2011

And another one from me too :) - 00b6f46c, Jul 11, 2011

Answer 5

I've heard pelao used to describe a fight a disturbance a great upset. Maybe what you mean is that there were lots and lots and lots of fish all swimming around. Like a fish jam as opposed to a traffic jam

pues si tú supieras, jeje, nada que ver birdy, la respuesta sin embargo te va a sorprender, jeje - 00494d19, Jul 12, 2011

Answer 7

I've got to go with pelear so .....Holy S$!T everyone is trashed. (beat the hell out of themselves)

naaaa, super frío matt, los buzos no los peleamos, jeje - 00494d19, Jul 12, 2011

los buzos..que es eso? Bozo the payaso o que? - MattM, Jul 13, 2011

Answer 8

Oooowee, the water is so clear!

pues eso fue cierto wansell, buen intento...pero eso no tiene nada que ver con pelado;) - 00494d19, Jul 12, 2011

Answer 9

Joéeee is none other than "that" word. The actual spelling is different, of course.

Mi intento: Omg! Everything was incredible!

(But this is too obvious, so I won't bet on it.)

pues no, dean, claro, lo de joeeee, ha salido antes, resto_ frío - 00494d19, Jul 12, 2011

es verdad, de hecho creo que fue yo el que te lo preguntó :) - Deanski, Jul 13, 2011

Answer 10

bad word beginning with F everything is peeled

¡Joéeee! Todo estaba super pelao.

lol, well, pero peeled ...qué significa en tu opinión? - 00494d19, Jul 12, 2011

peeled like......... sunburnt? - dewclaw, Jul 12, 2011

Answer 11

Well, looking at your comments on Birdland's answer... maybe you saw tons of dead fish in the sea... :-(

Ok, this is my last guess, I promise. Backing off - bomberapolaca, Jul 12, 2011

jeje, pues una pena, seguro que si sigues....pero no, esto es también super frío, jeje - 00494d19, Jul 12, 2011

Answer 12

Bueno señores....aún no hay ninguna respuesta cerca....

Hint:

Pelao = pelado

So what can it mean in the context?

Answer 13

Dammit, everything underneath was silted and covered with mud!!!!

lo siento, bombera, nada que ver, no había barro, de hecho, la visibilidad fue buena;) - 00494d19, Jul 12, 2011

Answer 14

I know from my Caribbean friends that the word can mean something like "bare" or "exposed". I even called to verify, so I hope that wasn't cheating since I knew I heard it before. But then, it doesn't make sense in the sentence or context of diving.

Did you mean something like:

Joe, I (he, she) was totally exposed?

That doesn't even make sense, but thought I would make a guess.

Exposed to the fish, sharks....? It's driving me craaaaaazzzzy!!! - Nicole-B, Jul 11, 2011

lo siento, Nicole, nada qeu ver con exposed...peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeero, :::no puedo decir más:::: jeje - 00494d19, Jul 12, 2011

Answer 15

Ok this is ringing a bell - I know that often the 'd' can be left unpronounced in certain words so if it is pelado - bald - and you're with a group of divers could it be that rather than everyone being bald, quite unlikely je je, that everyone is experienced? Ie - wisdom or experience comes with age and so does being bald? Oh and the super would make them super experienced?

genial tu idea, jeje, claro, es pelado, pero no lo decimos con d...sobre todo en este contexto, y no, no tiene que ver con la experiencia, jeje - 00494d19, Jul 12, 2011
