Creo que sí. A veces las usamos aquí para ejercicios de traducción o tópicos para discusión. - Daniela2041, Nov 6, 2016

Hi Don. As long as it relate to learning Spanish/English. Put it here and change the category to Culture and I'll look at it. - rac1, Nov 6, 2016

Answer 1

I have Cuban friends who arrived in the USA in 1980 as refugees. One in particular came to live with me durante that time. I will call him Pedro. He didn’t speak any English. We became friends… to this day. I taught him English and about American culture. He taught me Cuban slang, dominó, and how they “resolved/invented (resolver/inventor) things in Fidel’s Cuba. The Midwest American diet was quite different from that which to he was accustomed. To make matters short he became constipated and went to the doctor (after trying Ex-Lax®,etc.). The doctor prescribed something more intense. It worked. He went for a follow up visit. He had his clothing on. This is the funny part as told to me by Pedro… Doctor: “Did your bowels move?” Pedro: “Eh?” Doctor: “Did your bowels move?” Pedro: “Eh?” The doctor asks again, “Did your bowels move?” I’m writing this and I can’t stop laughing after all these years.
Pedro grabs his crotch Michael Jackson style and says, “¡Sí! Mai bals muv. ¿Qué coño tiene que ver con el culo?” (“Yes, my balls move. What the ghuck does that have to do with my butt?”)

¡Ñó! Ja ja ja.

I think that this is the same type of thing that Ray posts for answers and commentary. - Daniela2041, Nov 6, 2016

Have fun with it. - Daniela2041, Nov 6, 2016

You will have to change the language. This is a family site. Then we'll re-open, or you can post again in a new thread. - rac1, Nov 6, 2016
