In the Unites States we serve a afternoon break called a nourishment hub, does that translate?

Would this be more like an afternoon snack?- between lunch and dinner? - Stadt, Sep 6, 2011
Probably but it sounds so much more "elegant" than "snack". (to some people) - samdie, Sep 6, 2011

I would first translate it into plainspeak and then go for the Spanish translation.

I do so rail at the need that seems to have arisen to rename things in such manners - vaguely alluding to things with which we are already familiar in pseudo-complicated ways. Thankfully I have mostly escaped such goings on having left the world of management consulting but do wonder why such phrases have escaped into 'normal' life...

How true Afowen maybe " nourishment hub " is the politically correct form of " lunchroom" basta already ! - pacofinkler, Sep 6, 2011
Sounds alien to me, a white and clinical station sprouting long tendrils that you plug into your nourishment port along which flows a brownish sludge containing all the vitamins, minerals, roughage, carbs, fat and protein that one needs to survive... - afowen, Sep 6, 2011
Har! and no port for good scots whiskey for sure. - pacofinkler, Sep 6, 2011

Well, I'm guessing that they are only kids, but hey, start 'em young. We have just brewed an IPA, can't wait to try it! - afowen, Sep 6, 2011
Omg Afowen I must have some, a favorite for sure. - pacofinkler, Sep 6, 2011
Well, we are not exporting yet - you'd need to come to Bogotá :-) - afowen, Sep 7, 2011

I cant resist ! Forgive me in advance for being cynical.

" Nourishment hub" best I can discover on the net does not translate, If it did it would not have much meaning to a Méxican, Gracias a Dios.

An afternoon break called "a nourishment hub?" I have never heard this expression before! It may be part of your school district or some similar group, but is hardly universal. What is it?

Jejeje, What part of the US is this supposed to be known? I've never heard such a thing in New England.
