Ayyyy

I know have I have been particularly slack in my efforts to teach the world how to cuss in Spanish but I have good reason which I will summarise here

• Week long headaches
• Stomach ulcer
• Two vists to the gynaecologist in a week. TWO
• MORE problems with the apartment including lawyers and surveyors
• Family visits

So all in all, meeeehhhhhhhh or as they would say here

Dun dun duh

Word of the Week
helping the world cuss in Spanish

¡La Virgen!

The Virgin!

EG: after recounting my woes to a Spanish person they may reply

!Ay la Virgen! Pobrecita

Oh The Virgin, poor little one

Things are now looking up though – more soon to come!

Alive

Loco injured himself at football for the second time in 3 weeks. he is now hobbling around on crutches which means that I will remain alive for the foreseeable future - no skiing ya see! YAY!

It is just as well really, seeing as I spent the month's wages (his and mine) on duvet covers. Champagne tastes, beer money. sigh.

Oh and the chapuceros from last week - they got sacked. The building work has been delayed while the kitchen is taken out, the walls re-tiled, the plastering redone and the ceiling being re-put up, at no cost to ourselves thank God.

Anyway now it's time for, dun dun duhhhhhhhhh

Word of the Week
helping the world cuss in Spanish

This week's word is TORPE meaning Clumsy, slow or awkward

EG: Loco: "Cuidado con mi pie!" Watch my foot!

Shameless trips over Loco's foot

Loco: "Que torpe eres, por dios" My God you are clumsy

Pleasing to the ear

This version of this song, pleases me.

Do wah diddy diddy

New event

There's a few days left before I go to my death skiing, so I thought I'd introduce a new event on the blog

Shameless Hussy Productions is proud to present

...Sound trumpets...

Word of the Week
helping the world cuss in Spanish

Good eh!

So today's word, although not necessarily a "taco" (swearword), it can come in quite handy. So without any further ado, let me present today's word

CHAPUCERO

pronounced cha-poo-thero

Translation: Shoddy workmanship, "cowboy"

Example sentence: Menudo chapucero! no veas como me han jodido la cocina

Translation: God damn cowboy! You won't believe how they have fucked up my kitchen

In my case I am talking about the chapuceros that installed the gas tubing, who after seeing a nice new kitchen decided to sit on the new cupboards, bending the doors, throwing cigarette butts on the nice new floor, and drilling holes in the tiles, THE GOD DAMN TILES, to poke through some pipes anywhere they saw fit, only to cover up the pipes with a box of what looks like scrap metal. AND IT ISN'T EVEN STRAIGHT.

I promise I will get round to taking photos some day.
