Feisbuquear

Question

A new Spanish verb. Feisbuquear = Facebooking. This is showing up on Telcel ads all over the city. It took me a while to make the connection.

No question. Just sharing.

My memory is not what is used to be so it may be spelled Fiesbuquear. I will double check next time I see it. OR someone else here in Mexico can confirm or correct?

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing this. - rac1, Oct 29, 2014

Nuestro día a día está repleto acciones cotidianas que no reciben denominación alguna en el diccionario, como «feisbuquear», «googlear» o «whatsappear», palabras que la Real Academia Española no recoge entre su terminología pero están cada vez más arraigadas.

Ha, ha, ha! I looked up arraigadas as such in the translation on this site and it said: Futtock-shrouds. (Nautical). I wonder if it should be "pero que se arraigan más cada vez." - Jubilado, Oct 29, 2014

Oh, I see it's in the text of link! Interesting. - Jubilado, Oct 29, 2014

I am convinced it should be "repleto de acciones", but the use of arraigadas as the participle of arraigar as a adjective with estar is an area I am less sure of. - bosquederoble, Oct 29, 2014

Yes, if it is not my writing, I try to put it in a box. I am not responsible for anything other than quoting it. ;) - bosquederoble, Oct 29, 2014

But I can't judge how well written it is, all I know is that "está repleto acciones" sounds very bad to me, but it is an official news site. - bosquederoble, Oct 29, 2014

It's a sad day when we have to correct the native speakers. The RAE's days may be numbered like capital letters in English. - Jubilado, Oct 29, 2014

I like it. - gringojrf, Oct 29, 2014

Arraigadas is fine, it's very common to say that - ale_rd, Oct 30, 2014

As native speaker i can say that the RAE text is superb. It only needs a "de" between "repleto" y "acciones" - txustaboy, Oct 30, 2014

Answer 3

Oh Díos mio, este bola de fossilized intellectuales at RAE must be gnashing their teeth over this .I love it, como -" güisqui" for whiskey!

Do you remember the hilarious post we did for "flagging"a post " flagear" with all its conjugations?

:) - gringojrf, Oct 29, 2014

Too funny! - pacofinkler, Oct 29, 2014

Yes very funny - musn't upset the mods must we? - ian-hill, Oct 30, 2014

Aww Ian no offense intended! - pacofinkler, Oct 30, 2014

Answer 4

This is so stupid. Nodoby use this words in Spain. The people say Facebook, pronounced in many bad ways, but does not say Feisbuquear. What is this??

Maybe in Latin America but not here.

Stupid but funny amigo - language is often idiotic - or should that be idiomatic ? - ian-hill, Oct 30, 2014

I guess here in the americas the US English influence is stronger or maybe jsut more accepted. - gringojrf, Oct 30, 2014

Answer 5

yea its feisbuquear. de hecho estoy en el feis

Answer 6

Facebook should be said "Facebook" no matter where you are.

Why? Names change. I see nobody in the English speaking world calling España a España. - ale_rd, Oct 30, 2014

Answer 7

Facebook is a company. Companies should have their names known the same way everywhere. Even on Google Translate it comes out "Facebook". ¿Qué es este mundo?

Who uses Google translate. Probably the worst translator out there. jmo. - gringojrf, Oct 30, 2014

You are correct. Names should not change. But language is a living thing not always governed by a set of rules but rather by what people use and accept. - gringojrf, Oct 30, 2014

Who made it up?
