Emails From My Aunt: Cuban Phrase Of The Day
24 June 2009, 10:41 AM. By Alex Alvarez
Hi kids. It’s time for another installment of “Emails from my Aunt.” This time, my beloved tia in Miami decided to give me a lesson in vocabulary. Join us on this journey, won’t you?
Today’s phrase? Is “chicken wing:”
Used in a sentence:
Mi madre keeps playing the loteria; maybe one day chicken wing!
Because we love learning (And making fun of our late grandfather’s accent. Lovingly. And only somewhat maliciously.), here’s a few more words and phrases in Espanich that can help you should you happen to be lost in Miami or Corpus or what-have-you:
“Cheese”
I love her, but cheese in love with another man.
“Body wash”
I was going to go to the club and get my mack on, but no body wash my babies.
“Budweiser”
She’s got a nice body, budweiser face so busted?
“Brief”
Maria Yeslaysis laid a fart so ripe that I couldn’t brief.
“Tissue”
If you don’t know how to dance, I could tissue.
“July”
You told me things were over between you and Usnavy, but July. Julyer!
Got any others? Do feel free to chair.
