Fue sin querer queriendo
In 'el chavo del ocho', one of my best shows, i heard this expression:
Fue sin querer queriendo
I believe that some incorrect-grammar expressions in Mexico came from this show, as everyone started to use the expressions from that show afterwards. (as far as i know)
-Is this expression one of them? (i mean grammatically incorrect)
-Does any native speaker understand it?
I was searching this expression and i found out that it is used in Spain as well.

sin querer queriendo = without meaning to
not an uncommon term in provincial mexico
I looked on Wikipedia and found it defined as "I meant it without meaning it", and that El Chavo said it when he did something wrong. I'm not a native speaker, nor have I seen the show, but maybe it has something to do with El Chavo feeling guilty about doing something that he may or may not have known was wrong. Or maybe it's even similar to the English expression, "I meant to do that."
I just read the preceding comments. I'm new to this site and not familiar with how the forum works. Ahora, yo se. I agree with you Valerie..."accidentally on purpose"...that sounds like a good English equiv. Also with James. Gracias.
In English i've heard people say, teasingly, "I did it accidentally on purpose."
James, hahahaha you i cant stop laughing when i hear these expressions specially Eso eso eso.
Lazarus thanx for the 'Fue sin querer' i didnt find that one in the search. strange.

Coming from "El chavo del ocho", it is obviously a joke. We say things "Fue sin querer", meaning that we did not do it on purpose, and "Lo hizo queriendo", meaning on purpose.
Yes, it is used (especially by El Chavo del Ocho), and it's a bit tongue in cheek. It's like "I didn't mean to do it, but I did it anyway." I think there should be a comma after querer, because there is a pause when it is spoken. This isn't really standard Spanish, but it's fairly common. I'm not sure of its geographical scope.
