Hi everyone,

Thank you fort the great welcome. smile

I am a huge fan of the TV show "12 Corazones" Lunes a Jueves en las ocho por mun2. The hostess, Penelope Manchaca make me laugh. She has two phrases used alot during the show:forgive me if the spelling is incorrect: "trabajel" in reference to "go for it" or when someone is about to be kicked off the show " alguien es se va::chincharron!" I can't find these words anywhere, in the slang or Spanish dictionary. Can anyone help?

Thank you, Jay

Ha ha ha! Yes, what she means to say is. You are out! Fried! Cooked! Baked! In a humorous way!

  • As the "trabajel" I am guessing she is saying, "¡Trabájele!" = Work at it! Do it! Come on, keep going!
  • I would not say these are slang. These are more like idioms!

My pleasure! Idioms will kill you! I've also been burned more times than I care to remember - farallon7, Feb 29, 2012
ok, i just have one more question. just got hooked on La Escuelita VIP en Galavison. I think Jorge Ortiz Peinado is a genius. The character "Purrulis" uses a phrase I can't translate: it sounds like he's saying "succiones." If so, does it have another mea - jayson_david, Mar 1, 2012
Hmm, I don't really watch T.V, but succiones comes from the infinitive "succionar" = To suck. I'm sure it has a double meaning and context would help understanding what that double meaning is. - farallon7, Mar 2, 2012
