Question

I enjoy discovering words and phrases that make speech more colorful and fun.

This post is Just for the fun of finding ways to use a word or a phrase, and expand vocabulary.

I hope you will try it.

Here is a word that we can have some fun with it is not very common.

Learners use any resource you wish to make your phrase. Post in English and Spanish Native speakers will know this immediately so please wait a bit for us learners to post.

The word is "Husmear" it has many uses, to sniff around,to snoop, to prowl and so many more. '

Here is my example:

A veces mi esposa husmea en mi computador para ver que estoy haciendo en S.D.

Sometimes my wife snoops in my computer to see what I am doing in S.D. ( sometimes to scold me for my errors).

You can find this word in RAE or WR or many other resources.This should be a good one.

Use it in any way you wish and lets see if we can have some fun with it. Add a photo if your so inclined.

A vote for all answers and most votes gets best answer.

Answer 1

No estoy segura de esto

Paco, La basura está husmeando. Por favor sacádla.

Paco, the garbage is beginning to smell. Please take it out.

:-) did not see that one bien hecho - pacofinkler, Dec 9, 2014

Great and funny: The "basura" can´´t "husmear" because it´s a "life form action". The sentence "Por favor sacársela" should be "Por favor sacádla" if not you mean something similar to: "Please, put his dick out" XDDD - txustaboy, Dec 9, 2014

According to rae that is a p. u. form or rarely used. - pacofinkler, Dec 9, 2014
