Ojaldra...What does it mean?

Question

On my facebook there is a video that says: Todos Tenemos Un Hermano Bien Ojaldra. The video is of a person placing dog biscuits in front three dogs, two very large and one small dog. They sit there for a second and then the small dog grabs all three biscuits in its mouth and runs off. So what is the meaning o "ojaldra". I can't find it anywhere.

Answer 1

Hojaldre, literally means flaky pastry.

But it sounds like another word: ojete (asshole).

Todos tenemos un amigo bien hojaldra, o bien ojal (button hole), o bien ojéis.

Answer 2

A total guess: Ojalá + ladrar? = ¡ Ojadra! ( My new Spanish puppy suggested this)

lol @ my puppy suggested this hahaha Let's hope he's not barking up the wrong tree!! - FELIZ77, Jun 10, 2015

Feliz, puppies cannot be trusted. - annierats, Jun 10, 2015

Answer 3

Is it Hojaldra - which is puff/flaky pastry? In the UK flaky can be another word for a bit crazy.

Mardle, Wolfie agrees,he considers Spanish puppies very flakey.. - annierats, Jun 10, 2015

That must be it. I could only find this as well. - rac1, Jun 10, 2015

Mardle, my Oxford English Spanish Dictionary gives hojaldrE - FELIZ77, Jun 10, 2015

for puff pastry - FELIZ77, Jun 10, 2015

However, neither yours not Annie's guess would seems to make sense in relation Todos Tenemos Un Hermano Bien Ojaldrato the sentence Gringo found on facebook that he posted; - FELIZ77, Jun 10, 2015

The dictionary gives hojaldre for puff pastry. But this is definitely spelled ojaldra. It could be a misspelling but I think a native speaker can resolve this.c - gringojrf, Jun 10, 2015

I had found hojaldrar which was the verb to make flaky pastry I knew hojaldre was the pastry. - Mardle, Jun 10, 2015

Answer 4

Hi Gringo,

You asked about the word; Ojaldra:

On my facebook there is a video that says: Todos Tenemos Un Hermano Bien Ojaldra. The video is of a person placing dog biscuits in front three dogs, two very large and one small dog. They sit there for a second and then the small dog grabs all three biscuits in its mouth and runs off. So what is the meaning o "ojaldra". I can't find it anywhere.

From the context it would seem that he is saying: We all have a brother that is greedy like that meaning that we all know somebody who is greedy and /or selfish like that or who is always the first to get the food for himself !

This is my best guess!

I hope that one of the natives or fluent Spanish speakers will enighten us about this one

Update: I decided to post the word: ojaldra exactly as you said it was written, in the dictionary at Wordreference.com: and this is the result it produced:

ojaldra Definición | Sinónimos | Conjugator | in context | images

No English translation found for 'ojaldra'. Did you mean? ojada ojalá hojaldre

I can only assume that the person posting in Facebook misspelt the word

I hope this helps

I think you are probably right but I am still interested in the word itself - gringojrf, Jun 10, 2015
