New Game - Find a word TH _ _ /_

New Game - Find a word TH _ _ /_

The idea is to find an English word of 4 or 5 letters that starts with TH.

TH_ _ /_ - (there are none in Spanish that I know of)

And then write a short sentence in English and Spanish using that word.

Example:

She threw the plate at the wall in anger and at me an angry look.

Tiró la placa a la pared en la ira y a mí una mirada de enojo.

angry photo: Angry Angry.gif

When words fail...

Cuando las palabras fallan ...

Eso es todo, fácil ¿no?

This was the previous challenge

thong - chancleta

A thong can be a type of shoe or a type of underwear. In either case, there is not much to it.

La palabra matón es una palabra sánscrita que los ingleses han utilizado desde el siglo 19 .

The word "thug "is a Sanskrit word which the English have used since the 19th

century.

Thugees -----

Thuggee (Hindi: ????? or ?hag?; Urdu: ????; Sanskrit: sthaga; Sindhi: ????? ??; Kannada: "thakka"), also known as tuggee refers to the acts of thugs, an organized gang of professional assassins.

The thugs traveled in groups across India for several hundred years. They were devoted to Kali, a Hindu goddess associated with violence, sexuality, and more recently, empowerment.1

They were first mentioned in the ?iy??-ud-D?n Baran? (English: History of F?r?z Sh?h) dated around 1356.2

In the 1830s they were targeted by William Bentinck, along with his chief captain William Henry Sleeman, for eradication. They were seemingly destroyed by this effort.1[3] According to some estimates the Thugs murdered 1 million people between 1740 and 1840.[4] Sleeman was known as "Tugg Sleeman** "by his fellow Officers.
