I think it's just a nonsense rhyme like 'Jabberwocky'.

My ex-wife used to have trouble with her 'Rs' as well. Usually through trying to fit it into size 12 jeans.



PMSL:rofl::rofl::rofl: I have trouble with my Rs as well:eek:

True. I suspect that P's response would have been "La madre que lo parió"

It was one of my main aims when I came here to learn the language quickly, but it hasn't happened that way. :(

I thought the translation was not literal, i mean, i thought it was an idiom or something like that, sorry :(

Yes, my name is very usual in beach "chiringuitos" because it is composed of two words "sea" and "sun" in Spanish "mar" y "sol". And is usual in neighborhood hairdressers also :)

Hi Marisol,

Great to see you here in Siesta time. One piece of advice, don't take anything anyone says too seriously.

I think it may help tremendously with your vernacular English. :D

I'm hoping the fruit will be as tasty as the 'ortaniques'. They are wonderful.

Un arbol con frutas de la puta madre!
